Debut Novel Coming this Fall

The lakeside mansion in Central Ohio is a lonely place for Willow D’Agata, even when it’s filled with beguiling women and wealthy men.

Fortunato, her great-grandfather, had good intentions when he designed an exclusive property for four generations to live together and spend eternity. He didn’t expect Willow to become an orphan at age 18, nor did he realize the partnership he formed as a young man would trap her in a life she’d never choose.

Once Willow stumbles upon a box filled with answers about the legendary patriarch’s past, she must summon the strength to free herself from a man who controls her inheritance, safety, and the future of the D’Agata legacy.

Emerald Eyes: A Novel by Caroline Langer, follows the D’Agata family’s saga from 1913 to 1987. Coming of age decades apart, both main characters struggle with loss, terrible jobs, friendship, and naming their relatives.

Those who enjoyed The Lost Summers of Newport and The Sicilian Inheritance will love this empowering work of fiction, which blends a struggle for bodily autonomy with a dash of history and adds the peppery scent of romance.

Caroline’s debut novel will be published in September by Aphrodite Media and can be preordered now.
