From Romance to TV Series: Based on Felicia Kingsley’s Bestseller ‘Two Hearts for Rent’ Coming to Prime Video

14 November 2026

Following the success of the film adaptation of Not a Country for Singles, another romance bestseller by Felicia Kingsley—the queen of romance—will soon become a TV series: filming has just wrapped. The title is Two Hearts for Rent (Originally published by Newton Compton in 2019), which will also air on Prime Video.

Plot of Two Hearts for Rent

At the core of the story are Blake Avery and Summer. Due to a misunderstanding, the two characters are forced to share the same vacation home. They could not be more different: Summer is a meticulous, organized, and early-rising girl, betrothed to an older man; Blake is a chaotic and noncommittal man, who moves from conquest to conquest. She aims to become a screenwriter, while he is a world-renowned writer…

Non è un paese per single film

The two try to improvise a coexistence, which, as days pass, proves to be unusually pleasant…

From this book, it should be noted, a prequel and a sequel were born: The Heartbreaker and Crazy in Love (both published by Newton Compton).

In the Cast: Giacomo Gianniotti and Jacqueline Luna Di Giacomo

The director of the series adaptation is Laura Chiossone; the male lead is portrayed by Giacomo Gianniotti (already seen in Grey’s Anatomy, as well as in the Diabolik trilogy by the Manetti Bros), while the role of Summer is played by Jacqueline Luna Di Giacomo. Also announced in the cast are Giancarlo Commare, Jenny De Nucci, and Max Tortora.

Awaiting the release of the series, there is nothing left but to immerse oneself in the prolific Emilia-born author’s numerous romances under a pseudonym, who on Instagram posted a video to announce the new TV project.

I write about books the way I read them: slowly, curiously, and with attention to the details that linger after the final page. At Lythrum Press, I cover literary fiction, essays, memoirs and the wider culture of reading, with a particular interest in voices that challenge familiar ways of seeing the world. My work is guided by one simple idea: a good book deserves more than a reaction — it deserves a conversation.
