Perfect holiday reading from Domenica de Rosa, author of the bestselling Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries under the pen name Elly Griffiths. A group of would-be authors retreats to Tuscany where they learn more than how to write better. Patricia O'Hara's carefully composed ads for the writers' retreat she runs promise so much. The splendour of the thirteenth century Italian castle and chef Aldo's melanzane never fail to wow the guests, but huge maintenance bills and bad news from the bank mean it's make or break time for the Castello. Each of her seven aspiring authors arrives with the inevitable baggage alongside their unpublished manuscripts. But this August something is different, and soon lifelong spinster Mary is riding on the back of Aldo's vespa, and smouldering odd-job man Fabio has set more than one heart racing. As temperatures rise, the writers gossip, flirt and gently polish their prose by the pool. But with ghosts, scorpions, and some unexpected visitors to contend with, one thing's for sure: neither the Castello, nor Patricia, has ever seen a summer like this.

Ren Sawyer and Lizzy Harper live completely different lives. He’s a rock star with a secret he can no longer live with. She’s a regular person whose husband stood her up for a long planned anniversary trip. On a flight across the Atlantic headed for Italy, a drunken pity party and untimely turbulence literally drop Lizzy into Ren’s lap. It is the last thing she can imagine ever happening to someone like her. But despite their surface differences, they discover an undeniable pull between them. A pull that leads them both to remember who they had once been before letting themselves be changed by a life they had each chosen. Exploring the streets of Florence and the hills of Tuscany together - two people with seemingly nothing in common - changes them both forever. And what they find in each other is something that might just heal them both.

Lose yourself in Italian blue skies and sun-kissed streets with this gorgeous, heart-wrenching story about love and second chances. Fans of That Month in Tuscany, T.A. Williams and Lucy Coleman will fall head over heels for Mia and Luca’s incredible romance. Mia Moretti is looking for a place to heal. A devastating illness has taken her talent for painting, and her dreams of being an artist have been broken. Clutching a one-way ticket to Florence, Mia hopes that in Tuscany’s rich green vineyards she can find herself again. It doesn’t take long for Mia to fall in love with the crumbling walls and endless views of Villa Belladonna. But what Mia doesn't count on is handsome local Luca Bonnici. With his charming smile and easy laugh, he intrigues Mia, and his confidence reminds her of the person she used to be. As she jumps on the back of his motorcycle and spends long days gazing into his smouldering chestnut eyes, she begins to feel free. But just as Mia starts to wonder if she could stay in Florence, or hold a paintbrush again, tragedy strikes, and she realises that she may not really know Luca at all. Will the secrets between them bring them together, or force Mia, heartbroken, to return home for good? What readers are saying about Her Tuscan Summer: ‘Absolutely exceptional! Breathtaking; beautiful; heartbreaking and outstanding! I haven't been to Italy, but now, I’d love to go just to walk where Mia and Luca walked.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Breathtaking… will stay with me for a long time...

Once I opened the first page, I was immediately lost in Mia’s heartfelt journey… a novel that resonates with you, long after the last page is read.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Beautiful, emotional, picturesque… I was swept away… The story of Mia and Luca had me captivated from beginning to end, in fact I read half of this book in one day.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I was absolutely transported to Tuscany and I did not want to leave! Such a gorgeous love story… a set of characters that will stay with you long after you reluctantly have to leave them and Tuscany behind.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A heart-warming, intimate love story that takes the reader on a chauffeured voyage of Florence, and the beautiful surrounding landscapes… a glorious emotion-filled read. The story was so beautifully written and portrayed, that I didn't want it to end.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
