Reader Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Heartwarming’

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A gorgeous and vivid setting, and a really special romance’

When Lucy’s childhood sweetheart leaves her at the altar, her world shatters. But instead of canceling her honeymoon, she boards the plane alone—bound for a sun-soaked island that will change everything.

In Naples, recently widowed Elena is fighting to keep her husband’s family mozzarella factory and language school afloat while raising her young son. Desperate to save both businesses, she posts a job advert—and fate delivers Lucy to her doorstep.

Together, these two women—each nursing heartbreak and loss—discover that friendship, food, and a dash of courage can heal even the deepest wounds.

Filled with pasta, laughter, and second chances, this is a story of resilience, renewal, and the unexpected magic of connection.
