Award-winning author Gina Iafrate has announced that the ebook version of her romantic fiction novel, The English Professor, will be available at no charge on October 19 and 20, 2026, at Amazon. The promotion makes the first book in Iafrate's Strong Women series freely accessible to a wide audience, potentially drawing new readers into a multi-generational family saga that spans continents and explores themes of love, loss, and resilience.
The English Professor follows Andrew Robertson, an introverted, middle-aged professor who leaves his unremarkable London life for Sicily, where he becomes infatuated with another man's wife, Francesca. Their affair produces a child, but Andrew must return to London while Francesca protects herself and their daughter from her violent husband. The novel sets the stage for the series' subsequent installments, The Professor's Daughter and Love and Betrayal, which continue the story of Gracy Robertson as she navigates love, betrayal, and danger.
The free ebook offer is significant because it lowers the barrier for readers to discover Iafrate's work, which has been recognized with a 2016 Book Excellence Award Finalist honor. By making the first book available at no cost, the promotion may encourage readers to purchase the rest of the series and explore Iafrate's other titles, including The Girl From The Cornfield, Bestowed By Love And Splendour, and Releases From My Soul.
Iafrate's books are known for their sweeping family sagas and rich, tactile descriptions of exotic locales, allowing readers to travel the globe without leaving home. Her storytelling has been compared to that of Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham, and her Strong Women series features characters who overcome staggering odds to build lives that serve as models for women everywhere. The free promotion of The English Professor thus serves as a gateway to a body of work that celebrates resilience and the transformative power of love.
Readers can download the free ebook on October 19 and 20, 2026, at Iafrate's Amazon author page. More information about the author and her other books is available at her website. The promotion is a strategic move to expand her readership and introduce new audiences to the emotional depth and vivid settings that characterize her romantic fiction.
