Story
Mimi Albizia is at the end of an energizing six-month interlude in Verona, Italy. Before returning to Boston to face the cause of her unjust forced "break", she spends a final weekend in Venice, soaking up the mystery and romance suffusing its labyrinth of narrow streets and canals. Jake Bellini is in no rush to accept his predestined position at his family's hotel on Martha's Vineyard—or to collect dust in a stuffy law office. At 33, he prefers life at his uncle's Tuscan vineyard, where he pursues his love for winemaking and keeps his relationships casual...until he meets Mimi.

Publisher's Summary
Twists and turns, secrets and surprises, humor, and of course passion!
Contemporary romance heats up Martha's Vineyard in Paloma in a Pickle: a story of shattered dreams and thriving in the face of challenges.
Losing her artisan café hurt Paloma Schlemmer more than breaking up with any boyfriend ever did. While setting new goals and planning out her future, she accepts a temporary job at a friend’s catering business on Martha’s Vineyard.
Alas, her pal's sexy, cool-as-mint brother soon shakes up more than her focus on work, and when ignoring her feelings doesn’t work quite so well anymore, Paloma finds herself not just in a pickle, but knee-deep in an entire dill barrel.
Matt Bellini steels himself for another busy season at his family’s resort hotel—with neither the time nor the desire for serious dating. Until his sister’s new catering manager becomes a totally unasked-for distraction.
The more Matt is determined to push aside his unsettling longings, the more Paloma sneaks under his skin like no other woman. And when one misunderstanding breaks their fragile bond, Matt is at a total loss about how to fix it.
Paloma in a Pickle is a heartwarming story of resilience and taking chances that will leave listeners rooting for Paloma and Matt. Will they find the courage to take the plunge and navigate the currents of love, or will their insecurities keep them apart?
