Sometimes help comes from the unlikeliest of hands, and sometimes getting lost is the surest way to be found.
After discovering the duplicitous nature of the man she's been seeing, Anica Tomlin escapes on a romantic getaway to Italy. Alone.
From the moment she boards the wrong train in Pisa, Ani's plans to recover her dignity and reinvent herself begin to unravel around her. When a bicycle accident in the medieval walled city of Lucca lands her in the care of the gregarious Lazzaro family, she gratefully accepts their invitation to recover at their country villa perched on a hilltop surrounded by ancient olive groves.
But it's been a black year for olive growers all over Italy, and generations of tradition are being put to the test like never before. Ani is swept up in the drama of life in Tuscany, the convergence of old and new, and the passions that drive people to pursue the desires of their hearts. Just when she's finally getting back on her own two feet, an unexpected turn of events leaves her doubting the very existence of happily ever after.
Unless she can learn to trust herself... and the man who is quickly becoming the desire of her own heart.
With strains of Giacomo Puccini's beloved arias playing in the background, join Ani as she journeys through an enchanted Tuscan countryside in this delightful romance about love lost... and then found.
