"Waiting On" Wednesday (#53) Valentine Vendetta by Catherine Doyle

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm picking:
Valentine Vendetta by Catherine Doyle
Expected publication: January 1st 2015 by Chicken House Ltd

From Goodreads: 
Blood Will Spill, Hearts Will Break: With a fierce rivalry raging between two warring families, falling in love is the deadliest thing Sophie could do. An epic debut set outside modern-day Chicago.

For Sophie, it feels like another slow, hot summer in Cedar Hill, waitressing at her family’s diner and hanging out with her best friend Millie. But then someone moves into the long-abandoned mansion up the block--a family of five Italian brothers, each one hotter than the last. Unable to resist caramel-eyed Nicoli, Sophie finds herself falling for him -- and willfully ignoring the warning signs. Why are Nic's knuckles cut and bruised? Why does he carry an engraved switchblade? And why does his arrogant and infuriating older brother, Luca, refuse to let her see him? As the boys' dark secrets begin to come to light, Sophie is confronted with stinging truths about her own family, too. Suddenly, she's torn between two warring dynasties: the one she’s related to and the one she's now in love with. She'll have to choose between loyalty and passion. When she does, blood will spill, hearts will break. Because in this twisted underworld, dishonor can be the difference between life and death.

Why I'm Waiting:

I'm actually not sure when this is coming out or by whom (Chicken House or Scholastic, same company, different imprint). The title may also be either Vendetta or Valentine Vendetta.  Whichever it is, it looks really good.  It almost has a Romeo and Juliette feel. Oh, and debuts always intrigue me.
