About this audiobook

Evie arrives at Lake Bellavista with a missing suitcase, a demanding celebrity boss, and absolutely no intention of becoming the story. She is used to standing just outside the spotlight. Then Villa Sapore introduces her to Finn, a chef who understands that starting over is easier to discuss than to actually do. A work trip to an Italian cookery school should be another assignment for Imogen Pembroke-Wells, not a turning point in Evie's life. But private cooking lessons, lakeside beauty, shared meals, and Finn's quiet humor create a space where Evie can finally hear her own wants above her boss's expectations. Finn is equally drawn to her, even though grief has kept part of him anchored to a life he lost years ago. Their chemistry grows warmer with every meal, but the clock on Evie's stay keeps ticking. Imogen's demands threaten to pull Evie back into the background, while Finn must decide whether honoring the past means refusing the future. Around them, Villa Sapore is changing too, and choices about work, loyalty, and belonging become impossible to separate from what they feel for each other. Italy was supposed to be temporary. The question is what happens when the life waiting at home no longer feels like the one Evie wants to return to.
