The discovery of an ancient Roman mosaic on the property upsets his plans, forcing him to deal with a local archaeologist, Mauro, who he knew as a teen. Earlier animosities give way to a long simmering sexual fascination each felt for the other. As excavations take place, Paolo discovers family secrets and is forced to confront the demons of his past. Mauro, at a crossroads in his own life, must finally make peace with his own sexual inclinations. The tender love story takes place against the backdrop of the beautiful Roman countryside and the art, history, food, and wine that make Italy so enchanting. The story explores the land that holds secrets, the vines that produce their tonic, and the power of destiny to melt the reserve of two men frozen in time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50452579811565,"sku":"9798218546724","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/man-by-the-pool-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
