Fiction
When Lucy’s childhood sweetheart leaves her at the altar, her world shatters. But instead of canceling her honeymoon, she boards the plane alone―bound for a sun-soaked island that will change everything.
In Naples, recently widowed Elena is fighting to keep her husband’s family mozzarella factory and language school afloat while raising her young son. Desperate to save both businesses, she posts a job advert―and fate delivers Lucy to her doorstep.
Together, these two women―each nursing heartbreak and loss―discover that friendship, food, and a dash of courage can heal even the deepest wounds.
Filled with pasta, laughter, and second chances, this is a story of resilience, renewal, and the unexpected magic of connection.
Emily Forsyth is on cloud nine…
She has a high-flying job (literally), a hunky boyfriend (soon to be fiancé?) and a life of luxury. But then, out of the blue, her boyfriend dumps her for a younger woman, and Emily comes crashing down to earth.
Suddenly, she’s single and homeless, and the prospect of staying in the same job as her cheating ex is unbearable. So, at forty years not-so-young, she quits steady employment and decides to chase her lifelong dream of becoming an actress.
But with eccentric acting teachers, unreliable agents, and some decidedly unglamorous roles on offer, has she made a huge mistake? Or is this the start of something wonderful?
