About this book

Her company was the prize in a late-night poker game.

Maggie didn’t need a Marketing degree to drive a trolley around Savannah for the past 14 years. When her father won a run-down kayaking company in a poker game, she traded in her business suit for a paddle and jumped at the opportunity to get paid for doing something she loved: kayaking.

He is a gondolier escaping from shame in Venice.

Leo once thought that being a gondolier was everything he ever wanted, but that all changed after his father’s accident and the circumstances surrounding it. When Leo decided to leave Venice, he was drawn to where his family spent their carefree summers: Tybee Island.

Will the water that brings them together divide them in the end?

Maggie must find a way to help Leo without losing what she loves. Beautiful places and lovable characters make this novel a stay-with-you-forever read.

This is the second book I have read authored by Leigh Ebberwein. To me, this book shows her continued refinement as an author. Her first book is excellent and well worth the read. This book, to me, develops the characters in even more depth and the descriptions of the locations in Savannah and Venice are spot on. Having grown up in Savannah and having visited Venice brought back many of the described locations to my mind. The main takeaways to me were family, romance, religion and a storyline...

Fun Read!

Leigh brings to life two worlds - Tybee Island and Venice. Her descriptive writing makes you feel like you are truly there! Savannah Gondolier was hard to put down! Her story telling talent is amazing and she truly brings her characters to life! I can't wait to see what lies ahead for the Saints of Savannah Tribe. )
