The Tuscan Legacy series moves Alexa Verde’s clean romance formula out of Texas and into the Italian countryside. Nine of the ten books appeared in 2018, making this one of the most concentrated outputs in Verde’s career. Each book has a bilingual title — Italian phrase paired with English translation — which signals the romantic European atmosphere Verde is going for.
The Italian titles do real work: That’s Amore: That’s Love, Bella Notte: Beautiful Night, Dolce Vita: Sweet Life each conjure a particular Tuscan mood before the story begins. Verde keeps her faith-adjacent tone but the setting changes what community and belonging look like — instead of a Texas small town, it’s a Tuscan village with deep roots and old families.
Innamorata: Sweetheart arrived in 2020, two years after the original nine books, as a late addition to the series. With ten books total, Tuscan Legacy is one of Verde’s more complete standalone world-builds — readers who want a long run in a single European setting will find it satisfying.
