Welcome to the first story of what I’m hoping you will think is a magical trip to Italy.
When I was dreaming up the perfect location for Luca, my tall, dark and dangerously handsome hero, I came across a website filled to the brim with photos of beautiful ‘ghost towns’ in Italy and simply had no choice but to get him to move into one.
This was an interesting book for me to write as it’s the first time I’ve had a heroine who prefers working with dogs to people. After all, they’re not only man’s best friend, right? (My dogs are totally up there in the besties category.) And it took one very special human to bring Fran around to her HEA.

This book could go to no other than Jorja and Grissom—my own fluffy hounds who are always there when I need them… and sometimes when I don’t!
Furry friends…simply the best!

Fran caught eyes with one of them. Gorgeous, like the rest, but his brow
