Synopsis

He's her best friend's brother. She promised she wouldn’t fall for him. But a summer in Italy is about to change everything…

Out of all of 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 it to be, 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.

Rose is just beginning to find her feet, and doing a pretty good job of avoiding Thomas, when an emergency forces Katie to return home. At first, Rose feels lost without her friend. But when she accidentally ends up helping Thomas with a pregnant horse, everything begins to change.

Slowly, Rose faces her fears, finds a confidence she didn’t know she had, and discovers that the freedom of riding a horse is like nothing else in the world. But she also discovers Thomas and – despite Katie’s warnings – she begins to fall for his charms.

Is Thomas as wonderful as Rose thinks he is? Are his feelings for her real? Or is Rose about to make another bad choice and get her heart broken?

If you love wholesome, atmospheric romance novels with a hint of adventure and an ending that will give you all the feels, you’ll adore Poppy Pennington-Smith’s ‘Love in Tuscany’.

'Love in Tuscany' is a sweet, standalone romance novel with no cliff hangers and a HEA. It is the third in the 'True Love Travels' series by Poppy Pennington-Smith but the books can be read in any order.
