A new life, an old secret, and one unforgettable Italian summer.
Falling for him wasn't part of the itinerary.
For Indie Summer, fleeing to Lake Como after walking away from her manipulative boyfriend feels like salvation.
With everything she owns crammed into a single suitcase, she heads to Italy to work a season at a luxurious villa with her twin sister, clinging to the hope that the picturesque lakeside escape might also bring her closer to their elusive father.
What she didn't expect was that her curiosity about a reclusive actor's villa would land her in hot water with his brooding bodyguard, Marco Rossi. Tall, dark and handsome, Marco is everything Indie should avoid, but she can't seem to stay away.
As sun-soaked days stretch into glittering nights, Indie navigates demanding guests, long-buried family secrets, and more than a few glasses of Pinot Grigio. But the biggest challenge of all might be learning to trust again, especially with a man who guards not only a celebrity, but his own heart.
Escape to the sublime in this heart-warming, slow-burn romance set against the dreamy backdrop of Italy's most iconic vista.
