La Villa Rosa Series

She thought she knew what she wanted, he thought he’d had his one shot at love. In each other they found more than they could possibly imagine… Vanessa thought her life was perfect. An awesome career as a food writer, traveling the world and doing whatever she wanted. But then everything changes.  Her assignment goes wrong. She gets stranded in an old villa in the middle of Italy, and an unexpected letter digs up emotions she’s worked damn hard to bury.  Everyone relies on Enzo, he’s the responsible one of the family, unlucky in love but always ready to help out a stranger in need. Except this stranger is more difficult to help than most - she’s stand-offish, but there’s something about her that just makes him want to get closer.  Will Vanessa and Enzo let each other in and find home in each other’s arms? 

She thought her work would help her forget; his work still haunts his nightmares. Can they leave their painful pasts behind and come home to each other’s hearts?  Agata Selvaggio left the family law firm for good reason and is now the proud owner of a thriving cafe at the heart of her village. She knows her family’s judgment is the price she’s paid for her independence, and all she wants to do is forget and move on. That’s not as easy as it sounds, especially when an unexpected stranger arrives who makes Agata want to live in the present more than ever. Can she finally forgive her family and make room in her heart for someone who cares? Matu Samuelson is good at taking care of people, at least he was when he worked as an adventure tour guide in the New Zealand wilderness. Everything changed when a volcanic eruption turned his life upside down, and now he’s not sure he’s good at anything anymore.  So helping out a friend of a friend and a change of scene is a no brainer right?  What he hadn’t expected was Agata—resourceful and independent—so independent she’s reluctant to let him get close. Gaining her trust is something he knows he could be good at, if only she’d let him. Will the past and the present collide to create a whole new reality for Agata and Matu?

Two creatives clashing on a joint project...surely it’s too cold to shut each other out, especially on Christmas Eve? Finally home for the holidays, Caterina Boraldo is ready to strut her stuff. A new job at a swanky interior design firm and a new look. But back home, is she so different from that awkward teenager desperate to escape working class drudgery. She’ll keep smiling regardless and it’s hard to not smile with gorgeous Antonio around.  She’s only home for the holidays right? Despite his grumpy reputation, Antonio Caputo is doing a favour for his friend; helping with a renovation at La Villa Rosa which keeps him busy before Christmas. But how will he concentrate with Caterina, the sophisticated city girl distracting him? He’s there to work, it’s what he does best.   But that body, her ideas and that sexy smile...this isn’t going to be easy.
