Valeria Teles interviews Maria Romano — the author of Just One to a Plus One: An Inspiring Guide On How To Start Dating Again And Let Go Of The Past.
Maria Romano is the founder of True Love Knots, LLC based in fabulously exciting Las Vegas! She started a small rental car company with her husband Frank. Maria’s company grew to over $18M in annual sales while Frank expanded into a gaming company.
Life changed forever when her father and brother, Frank’s business partners, had their programmer develop a rigged video poker program and then murdered the programmer. The gaming control board closed Frank’s company, even though he was innocent, and the scandal caused Frank to experience a massive heart attack. A heart transplant gave Frank and Maria 15 more years of life and love together until Frank’s passing in 2012.

Maria stated to date again and found that there were many people just like her that had no clue where start and what to do. Maria than created a program Going from Just One to Plus One.
