'Sweet, steamy and cosy - perfect for autumn' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ READER REVIEW
'I absolutely loved it' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ READER REVIEW

Isabella Tucci is not looking for love.
 Leaving London and her cheating ex far behind to open her dream restaurant, she's promised herself: no men, and no distractions.

Chef Etienne runs his own place, right across the square. And he'd be more than happy to show the new girl in town around. After all, he's never met a woman he couldn't charm. But he's never met anyone quite like Isabella.

Between long days of renovations and late nights with new friends, Isabella tries to steer clear of her blue-eyed, strong-jawed neighbour. But it's a small town, and the more she gets to know Etienne, the more Isabella begins to wonder if some rules were made to be broken . . .

A perfectly sexy, spicy small-town romance perfect to curl up with on cosy nights.

Tropes:
✅ Small Town
✅ Friends to Lovers
✅ Forced Proximity
✅ Found Family
✅ Spicy

Spice Level: 3 Chilis
