Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga has signed a book deal to publish her first book titled Love, Italian Style: The Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage.

"I can't tell you how many times Joe and I are approached by fans asking how they can have a marriage like ours. A great marriage doesn't just happen. It's a job," Gorga said about her eight-year union with Joe Gorga, as quoted by Us Weekly. The couple has three children together.

She revealed the book will give readers "practical strategies on how to strengthen their marriage, amp up the passion, and the secrets that make my marriage as sexy and hot as it is warm and loving."

According to The Huffington Post, Gorga will be the second author of Bravo's hit reality series. She will be joining Theresa Giudice, her sister-in-law and sworn enemy, who has three cookbooks.

Gorga and Giudice are reportedly not on speaking terms. A source told Us Weekly that Giudice refuses to even acknowledge Gorga and they "stayed on separate sides of the room" at a recent Hurricane Sandy event.
