In the city of love, can a spark between two lonely people change everything?
Will Florence bring them together – or prove they’re worlds apart?
Sofia has one goal - landing her dream job at luxury holiday company Sublime Retreats. Romance is the last thing on her mind, especially when she’s forced to travel to Florence with cold and standoffish Adam.
As the charm of Tuscany weaves its magic, sparks begin to fly, Adam’s defences slowly crumble and Sofia starts to wonder if she’s found someone worth conquering her fears for. Can Florence offer them a second chance at love, or will their differences keep them apart?
Escape to the sublime in this heart-warming, feel-good romance full of love, life and family.
