Holly Elizabeth is an award-winning journalist living in Italy, and has worked at the forefront of newspaper reporting for many years, covering the biggest hard-news stories from around the globe.

The Amalfi Alliance (Book One) is Holly's contemporary women's debut released in May 2012 on Kindle, and Smashwords & Nook  in June 2012. The Amalfi Alliance is a fast-paced story of determined courage set against the magnificent Amalfi Coast in Italy. The novel explores the themes of identity and the isolation from, and the bond to, one’s country, but at the end of the day it features romance and suspense: two of my favorite genres. Book Two in The Amalfi Alliance series is set for e-book release very soon.

SYNOPSIS:
Secret agent Ines di Santa has enough on her plate without love getting in the way. After years scrutinizing Italy’s criminal underbelly, Ines goes deep undercover to ensnare numero uno crime boss, Carlo Cosimo. Accepted inside the family’s clandestine perimeters, Ines traverses its rich splendor aboard the Lady Elena, a luxury super-yacht cruising the magnificent azure waters of the Amalfi Coast and Capri Island. But it is Carlo’s right-hand man – the murderous Rino Amerola, with his rat cunning, and penchant for fast fixes of the sex and gun kind – who makes it very clear it won’t all be plain sailing. With Ines poised to blow Carlo’s multi-euro heists out of the water, while coming to terms with her own murky past, she inexplicably finds herself standing on the precipice of breaking the cardinal undercover code: never fall in love, with any player, in the game.

Over in New York, Tilly McKenzie is juggling an equally hectic life: film premieres, couture fittings, late night phone calls from Katie Holmes and tight deadlines. Tilly is proud to be sitting pretty at the top of the New York fashion tree – and all before 30. Quite an achievement, she thinks. But a fateful telephone call smashes the perfect life to tie Tilly and Ines di Santa forever...
