Bestselling Author Gina Iafrate Releases Third Novel in Strong Women Series, Love And Betrayal

Award-winning author Gina Iafrate has announced the release of her latest romantic fiction novel, Love And Betrayal, now available in print and ebook form at Amazon. This novel is the third in the series, following The Professor’s Daughter, and continues the story of Gracy, a woman whose life is marked by love, deceit, and eventual peace.

In Love And Betrayal, Gracy initially believes she has found her eternal true love, but her married life turns disenchanting as her husband Alvaro breaks his vows. His unfaithfulness, driven by greed, jealousy, and revenge, brings pain and suffering. Gracy's emotional journey of survival becomes challenging, but later in life, with the intervention of caring people, she finds love, peace, and support once more. The novel explores how she overcomes solitude and despair through courage and the universal bliss that tests her.

The series began with The English Professor, which introduces Andrew Robertson, an introverted professor who embarks on a journey to Sicily and falls into a passionate affair with another man's wife, Francesca. Their union results in a child, Gracy. The Professor’s Daughter follows Gracy as the love child of that intense affair, raised in hiding by her father to avoid mobsters. After her father's death, Gracy faces grief and danger before finding love across the ocean.

Iafrate's Strong Women series features characters who overcome staggering odds to build lives that serve as models for women everywhere. Her books are described as sweeping family sagas that transport readers globally, with richly detailed settings and dramatic narratives. In the tradition of writers like Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham, Iafrate's story lines reveal the richness of human experience through finely drawn characters.

Other books in the series include The Girl From The Cornfield, a coming-of-age saga set in 1950s Italy about Giuliana Ferrante, who rises above a vicious attack to build a successful life; and Bestowed By Love And Splendour, a story of a broken-hearted wife who finds peace on the island of Sardinia. Iafrate is also the author of Releases From My Soul, a collection of anthologies blending true stories and imagination, and is currently working on her seventh novel, The Shoeless Boy.

Iafrate, who writes in both Italian and English, divides her time between Hollywood, Florida; Niagara, Ontario; and Europe. She has been featured in publications such as the Niagara News and is a 2016 Book Excellence Award Finalist. More information is available at her website at http://www.ginaiafrate.com.
