Trip of a Lifetime (Paperback)

Alex Brady was looking for some excitement in his life, but nothing could have prepared him for what a trip to Tuscany would bring him-excitement, yes, but with an undercurrent of danger that could possibly end up costing him far more than the price of the vacation. When Alex tells his best friend Russ of his proposed trip to Tuscany, Russ tries to dissuade him, especially when Alex explains he'll be renting a car and making his own way around a foreign country. Russ is sure Alex will get lost or mugged. On his first night in Florence, Alex meets Gavin Andrews, a handsome Scotsman, and looks forward to a more than pleasant start to his 'trip of a lifetime'. But Gavin disappears without a word, and though disappointed by the Scot's apparent lack of interest Alex continues with his tour of Tuscany in his rented car, staying overnight at the Villa Lorenzo, a converted farmhouse run by two gay men, John and Alfredo. Alex is shown a portrait of Lorenzo, the original owner, and that night Alex has a strangely sensual dream, that comes to an abrupt halt when Lorenzo warns him that Gavin is in danger. What follows is far more excitement than Alex ever bargained for - a kidnapping, a murder, and ultimately an offer of marriage! Truly, for Alex this is the trip of a lifetime.
