About the book:
Gabriella has never spent a summer in Italy like this one.
Remaining means giving up all she’s known and loved…
and leaving means forfeiting what she’s come to know…and love itself.
And thus does she come to be rescued by the knight-prince Marcello Falassi, who takes her back to his father’s castle—a castle Gabi has seen in ruins in another life. Suddenly Gabi’s summer in Italy is much, much more interesting. But what do you do when your knight in shining armor lives, literally, in a different world?
Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? No wonder it won! If you’re ready to read it, head to Amazon now. You can read Lisa’s COTT interview here or check out her excerpt here.
Lisa, welcome to the COTT Hall of Fame. We’re very happy to have you join us!
Readers, do you hunger for a well-written convo–one dripping with sarcasm or perhaps laced with unspoken meaning? Maybe you like a quick wit or a character whose comments make you LOL. Wish you could influence the dialogue of the fictional characters you read? This week COTT is hosting a showdown for the Snappiest Dialogue. Hurry on over and let our authors know what you like, and what you long to see, in the spoken interaction between characters. See you there!

I have this ridiculous urge to clamp my hands together and raise them triumphantly in the air…but thanks for celebrating with me, anyway. 🙂
I hope people will check out WATERFALL (and CASCADE and TORRENT)!
Lisa,
I think all COTT participants should have raised hands in air! I love the COTT challenges and to be chosen the winner by peers is a confirmation you are right where God wants you to be.
I agree, everyone should be reading your books. Continued favor on your work!
