She promised she wouldn't fall for her best friend's brother. But a summer in Italy might change everything...

Out of all her friends, Rose is the 'single' one. She isn't lucky in love; in fact, she's the opposite. So, when her best friend Katie decides to whisk her away for a few weeks of sun and relaxation, of course, she says yes.

There's only one problem - they're off to visit Katie's brother, Thomas, at his magnificent Italian ranch. And Rose is petrified of horses.

Deep in the Tuscan countryside, Rose leaves her mundane accounting job behind and begins to settle into life on the ranch. It is just as beautiful as she expected, but she is shocked to discover how much Thomas has changed; the shy teenager she used to know has morphed into a handsome cowboy with a dazzling smile, and she knows she's going to find it hard to keep her cool around him.

When Katie is unexpectedly called home for an emergency, Rose is left alone with Thomas. As she helps him care for a pregnant mare, she faces her fears and begins to see herselfโ€”and Thomasโ€”in a new light.

But as her feelings deepen, Rose must decide if she's ready to trust her heart again. Is Thomas as wonderful as he seems, or is she risking it all for another heartbreak?

Set against the stunning backdrop of Tuscany, Love in Tuscany is a sweet, uplifting romance about second chances, self-discovery, and a love worth taking a chance on. Perfect for fans of cozy, feel-good love stories with a guaranteed happy-ever-after.
