I am an avid reader of Danielle Steel so of course my first book I chose to read is To Love Again. The book is set in Rome with two very famous fashion designers, Isabella and Amadeo SanGregorio. Isabella comes from a fashion design family in Paris when she marries and joins Amadeo. They are very famous and very wealthy people in Rome and respected by everyone that knows them. They also have a four year old son Alessandro who is mostly raised by his nanny.
Isabella and Amadeo are working together in their fashion design business with the second hand man Bernardo.
Amadeo is very generous to Isabella and showers her with fine jewelry. Bernardo is worried about them flaunting their wealth as it could cause them to be victims of kidnapping. Sad to say but, Bernardo is right.
Isabella has left to go to lunch and Amadeo is lured from the building by two men that say they have hit his car. Amadeo goes outside to see the damage and is kidnapped.
Isabella can't figure out where her husband is that evening as they are late for a dinner party. Later in the evening, she receives a call from the kidnappers demanding 10 million dollars and for her not to call the police.
Bernardo talks her into calling the police and they are supposed to wait through the weekend and pay the money on Tuesday. All the assets have been frozen by the police so Isabella takes her jewelry to a friend (a jeweler) to sell for cash. An employee of the jeweler leaks it to the press that she has sold her jewelry. The kidnappers find out and call off the deal. Amadeo is found dead the day.
