In "…..And Now Goodbye", Julia Bertinelli thought she had it all. But that was before her husband confesses that he kidnapped her twenty years before, that her name is Elizabeth Grant and that she has two children.

After her husband's death, Julia struggles with whether she should return to the life that was ripped from her in a crime that left her with no memory.

In the second book of the trilogy, "…..And Now Hello", Julia's story continues as she leaves Argentina and travels to America to face the people she loves. Julia's daughter may be dying. Her son is caught up in a web of fraud and deceit. Her husband is remarried and madly in love with his new wife, and Julia wants him back. To make it worse, someone wants her dead! Kidnapped. Betrayed. Now she wants it all, her life and everything she left behind.

They thought she was dead. Now she's back. The masquerade unfolds. Can she reclaim her life before they see through her disguise? Can she love again, or will a fiery inferno destroy her only chance?

"...And Now Goodbye" is a bittersweet love story of a man and his captive. Julia Bertinelli thought she had everything, a wonderful loving husband and a life that was filled with happiness. But that was before her memory returned and she realized that the man she was married to was not her husband, Julia was not her name and that this was not her life . . . It was all a lie!

She had struggled through the abduction. She had suffered through the amnesia. Now she must face her awakening. How does a woman cope with the reality that she has loved and cherished her enemy . . . the man who tore her from her family and stole her life . . . the man who would never let her go unless fate intervened. This is a story of love and a crime of passion, of hate and despair, of faith and forgiveness.

Set in Argentina, ". . . And Now Goodbye" takes you back to Italy and the war, to Paris and the scene of the abduction and to the United States as the mystery unfolds as to why she was taken and kept for twenty years. The story lays the gripping groundwork for the second book in the trilogy, as Julia faces her past, the life she might have had, and those she left behind.
