From Italian American storyteller and social media sensation Sarah Arcuri comes the highly anticipated follow-up to her beloved debut The Owner & The Wife-a sweeping novel about soulmates, second chances, and the secrets that can unravel everything.
It is the summer of 2011, and Scarlett Valenti is a woman fighting to hold her world together. Four years after the death of her husband, famed culinary star Francesco Valenti, she's left with a crumbling legacy, mounting debt, and a restaurant on the verge of collapse. With the future of her family hanging in the balance, Scarlett makes the desperate decision: sell their treasured Montauk beach house to save what matters most.
What's meant to be one final summer in Montauk with her children takes an unexpected turn when Enzo Valenti-her late husband's estranged brother and the one man Scarlett vowed to forget-arrives with a suitcase and a promise to help. Their reluctant reunion soon stirs up long-buried feelings, memories they can't erase, and the secret Scarlett has spent nearly twenty years trying to hide.
As the family gathers under one roof and finds themselves drawn together by one last golden summer, new bonds are formed, love and loyalty collide, façades begin to crack, and Scarlett is forced to confront the question that has haunted her for decades: if the truth comes out and her family discovers who she really is, will it destroy everything, and everyone, she loves?
Told in riveting then-and-now timelines, All My Love, Always is a sweeping saga of fate, forgiveness, and the fragile threads that hold a family together. From the windswept shores of Montauk to the glittering seas of the Amalfi Coast to the heart of Manhattan's Little Italy, this is an unforgettable exploration of a woman torn between duty and desire, and how sometimes, losing everything is the only way to begin again.
