But he can’t afford to get side-tracked by a beautiful woman who can never be his. So, he’ll have to ignore his untimely feelings for her…no matter how much his heart protests.

But everything isn’t as it seems in Lucilla’s quaint small town. Potentially dangerous secrets threaten both Mario’s plans, and Lucilla’s future. Uncovering the culprits and unraveling the mystery will be the easy part. Getting to happily ever after, however, will be infinitely trickier…

Nurse Carmen Rossi is a natural-born helper, ready to give a hand to whoever is in need. So, she was happy to organize her cousin’s wedding and make it the biggest event the small town of Cirella had ever seen. And while she did that, she could definitely solve the mystery of who hurt her patient’s nephew. But she wasn’t prepared to work with a real cop on the case…and she certainly wasn’t ready for her attraction to him…

Detective Emiliano Segatti lives for his job, but right now, he could use a break from it. Still, when the star witness in his case against an infamous mafia boss escapes custody, his plans for a mellow vacation in Cirella are ruined. To catch the fugitive, Emiliano will need to stake out those who helped the police catch the guy in the first place—which leads him to Carmen. Helping the woman in her sleuthing adventure is only an excuse to shadow her, yet the more time Emiliano spends with Carmen, the more he realizes that protecting her isn't the real challenge. Ignoring his untimely feelings for her, however, is.

While Carmen and Emiliano's investigation turns more and more intricate, they must work against the clock to make sense of the dangerous riddles surrounding them. Can this unusual detective team solve their case and find their way to happily ever after?

Serena Moretti never wanted to go back to her small hometown. But one disastrous marriage later and here she is, a single mom, doing her best to rebuild my life.

Then he came back to town. Amato Rossi was Serena's first love. The man who destroyed her heart. The smart thing to do would be to stay away. Too bad fate (and her stupid heart) had other ideas…


Amato Rossi didn’t expect to see Serena back in Cirella. He certainly didn’t think she’d help him acquire the land his sister wants. And he never thought the feelings they once shared would surface again.

But…it happened. All of it.

However, he should keep my distance. His business dealings are quickly going from complicated to potentially dangerous—and she has troubles (and secrets) of her own. Plus, he knows a second chance romance isn’t in the cards for us. Knowing, however, doesn’t keep his foolish heart from wanting more…

Cheeky-Words--Lucky-Stars-Generic.jpg

Gaia Sartori supposed to marry. Unfortunately, rather sooner than later. After her father's death, her family's farm, Sunny Grove, needs a new leader — a man.

Never mind that Gaia can fire a hunting rifle and hit any game, even at a distance that makes guys sweat. It's not enough, her mother says. Though it's 1962, in her small town in Southern Italy, two women living alone on a ranch aren’t safe. 

But Gaia has got her own ideas. She enjoys taking care of our homestead. Alone.

She's certainly not interested in the wealthy gaffers her mother tries to fix her up with— or in marrying in general. Or at least she wasn't, until one day, she bumps into a mysterious stranger...
