Two lives... two romantic cities... Meet Teresa Felicia Santana León. In New York, she's Tracy León, a would-be artist and telemarketer who falls for an older tycoon, Bruce Babich. When Bruce's mother sends her to Rome to find a stolen painting, Tracy assumes an alter ego, the zesty Felicia Santana. In Rome, she meets a younger artist named Mario Giordani who helps her on her quest. Before long, she is juggling two romances and two distinct identities: Tracy, demure trophy wife wannabe in New York's high society, and wanton, thrill-seeking Felicia in sultry Rome. Against the backdrop of these exciting cities, she follows her divided heart, even if it leads her in the wrong direction. The secrets behind the stolen painting send her on an unforgettable journey that prompts her to re-examine her own talents and inspirations. As the pieces come together, Tracy faces a life-changing choice, one that will lead to surprising discoveries about love and her own identity.

A page turner
You can't put this book down as the suspense builds around the "double" life of Tracy. Such a fun read!
A New Lease on Life!
Sounds exciting, right? I was very impressed with this debut novel based on the synopsis and had high expectations. I couldn't wait to start reading, and I finished the book in a couple of days. I was so into this book! Let me tell you why....
Tracy Felicia Santana is a child of Texans, with big dreams of graphic design and putting her love of art to work in New York. She leaves the nest and moves to New York and gets started. She marries Diego Leon, a man in her realm of work. But Diego wants the limelight and a wife at home, not so much in the workforce. Tracy puts all her dreams and her graphic design classes out of her mind and does what Diego wants her to do. Instead of climbing the ladder in the art world, Tracy stays working in the circulation department for ArtHouse.
Through Tracy's reminisces, if you can call them that, she makes it clear that Diego washed away her dreams and her motivation to pursue them. It's a sad, downtrodden fact that a lot of women today face once they are involved in a new relationship or one that evolves into a hasty marriage, as Tracy's did. She has low self-esteem and no direction for her life; she's just going through the run-of-the-mill, day-to-day mundane routine, trying to stay afloat in pricey New York.
Since then, Diego has divorced her and married the woman he was cheating on Tracy with...and then he dies, suddenly. Somehow, Tracy and Diego's second wife, Donna, become best friends. The antics of Diego draw them together. They reminisce about their time with Deigo, and the ending of the novel is very reflective of relationships and the past:
"But only the good parts remain. Isn't it amazing how kind your memory can be? Ultimately, you only remember the happy times."
Donna is almost a foil of Tracy: she does not hide her beauty, she is an actress and she goes after new adventures. Tracy is content to stay in her little hole in New York. She doesn't keep in regular contact with her family or "have a life."
One day, Tracy's boss at ArtHouse shares some more bad news. On that crappy day, she escapes to MoMA, where the art gives her an escape and lifts her mood.
