 class=
Nina Gregory was raised by her father, Joseph Gregory, the owner of a high-end hotel company. He adores Nina, and she’s completely devoted to him. In her thirties, Nina works as a speechwriter for New York Mayoral candidate Rafael O’Conner-Ruiz whom she admires and shares a burgeoning mutual affection. She’s also in love with her boyfriend Tim Calder who is a lifelong friend and the son of her father’s best friend and business partner. The couple plans to marry and have children. Complications arise when Joseph grows ill and the necessity of Nina giving up her speechwriting work to run the Manhattan hotel company crystalizes. As romantic tension continues to build between Nina and Rafael, Joseph passes away. Nina takes over the reins of Gregory Corporation and, as she gets up to speed on running it, discovers shocking secrets about the company and her parents’ relationship. Nina’s idealized image of her father and her mother, who died in a car crash when she was a child, is shattered. As Nina comes to terms with the reality of who her father was, she struggles to decide between following in his footsteps and pursuing work she loves. Nina also struggles with her romantic interests, which mirror her professional conflicts. Tim represents the controlled, predictable life her father planned for her, and Rafael represents a more passionate choice. A suspenseful, gripping, and romantic page-turner, More than Words is sure to enthrall Santopolo’s many fans and win her new ones. More than Words is now available for purchase.
