Taboo

Life for Vienna Mancini isn't easy. As a first generation Australian, she is expected to endure and perpetuate the traditions - and feuds - of her Italian family. Marry young. Have kids and keep house. And most importantly, stay away from the Valentinos. Already caught between her own desires and wishes of her family, things become even more complicated when she falls for the enemy - the handsome and charming Paolo Valentino. Knowing her family would never approve, Vienna attempts to suppress her feelings and move on with her life. When her Nonna Giovanna reveals a long hidden secret, however, Vienna finds the line between the traditional and the taboo beginning to blur, and for the first time ever, must decide for herself what is it she really wants. Taboo combines Italian history, forbidden romance, and warring families to create a tantalizing tale of love, womanhood, and culture.
