Scheduled release September 11, 2012
Publisher: Entangled Publishing
Genre: Time travel, YA
On the precipice of her sixteenth birthday, the last thing lone wolf Cat Crawford wants is an extravagant gala thrown by her bubbly stepmother and well-meaning father. So even though Cat knows the family’s trip to Florence, Italy, is a peace offering, she embraces the magical city and all it offers. But when her curiosity leads her to an unusual gypsy tent, she exits . . . right into Renaissance Firenze.
Thrust into the sixteenth century armed with only a backpack full of contraband future items, Cat joins up with her ancestors, the sweet Alessandra and protective Cipriano, and soon falls for the gorgeous aspiring artist Lorenzo. But when the much-older Niccolo starts sniffing around, Cat realizes that an unwanted birthday party is nothing compared to an unwanted suitor full of creeptastic amore.
Can she find her way back to modern times before her Italian adventure turns into an Italian forever?

I also have an excerpt to share with you guys!!
Alessandra jerks back like I just suggested she prance around the
square naked or something. “No! I believe I understand your meaning, and
Lorenzo is certainly not my suitor. He is like a brother to me—the
three of us grew up together.”
She resumes walking and I fall in
step beside her, understanding there has to be more to the story. And
as we near the end of the row, I finally ask, “If you’re not into the
guy, then what’s the problem?”
At that same moment, a rich, deep
chuckle hits my ears. My stomach involuntarily clenches and my gaze
sharpens on the back of this mysterious Lorenzo.
Alessandra
sighs. “That is the problem.” She places her hand on my arm and solemnly
looks me in the eyes. “You must be careful. Lorenzo is beautiful, and
it is not uncommon for a girl to walk away from meeting him with a piece
of her heart left behind. But he is just eighteen, and not yet ready
for marriage.”
I roll my eyes and laugh, then realize she’s
serious. “Yeah, I assure you, there’s no danger on my end. I’m not
exactly looking for marriage myself.” Because that would be crazy-town.
Alessandra
wrinkles her nose as if she doesn’t believe me, but she removes her
hand. We close the distance and Cipriano flashes me an open, honest to
goodness, lighthearted smile.
“Lorenzo, this is the cousin I was telling you about.”
Slowly
the guy turns and I fall head first into the richest chocolate-brown
eyes I’ve ever seen. He blinks and long, luscious lashes feather across
his bronzed cheeks. I can feel myself gawking, but I physically can’t
drag my eyes away. Lorenzo doesn’t smirk or act all conceited, either. He simply stares back, his eyes
casually skimming over me, causing my skin to warm and break out in a
whole body tingle.
Time seems to stop, and the sounds of the market mute. Alessandra was right. This boy is beautiful.
And he’s looking at me.

While I'm not the the biggest fan of the cover (the model looks much older than 16 and again, it looks more like a magazine than a book cover) but the excerpt and summary sound fun, fun, fuuuun and I'm definitely excited for this book!
