Perfect for you if...

You love second-chance romance stories where unresolved feelings from the past resurface with real emotional weight.
You're drawn to characters with genuine ambition and grounding—Rosa's restaurant empire feels as important as her love life.
You want a summer setting that's actually vivid and sensory, not just a backdrop.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer high-stakes plots or external conflict over the internal tension of reconnecting with an ex.
You're looking for a quick, light rom-com rather than a story that takes time to untangle why people really broke up.
You don't enjoy flashbacks or narrative shifts that reveal what happened in the past.

About this book

Rosa Capoletti, a successful restaurateur, transformed a run-down pizza joint into an award-winning restaurant that has been voted the "best place to propose" three years in a row. For years, she has not experienced real romance since her teenage relationship with Alexander Montgomery ended without explanation a decade ago. When Alexander returns to town, Rosa and he reunite at the beach house where they first fell in love. As they spend time together, they discover that the secrets from their past are not what they believed them to be. Rosa pursues happiness with the man who once broke her heart and learns that second chances exist in both love and life. Originally published in 2004.
