Second time around

Sometimes the end is just the beginning.

After her divorce, Grace never expected to feel anything again – until a stranger’s kindness sparks a new beginning. When her ex’s wedding brings her to Verona, fate introduces her to Federico... and a chance to reclaim the life she thought she’d lost.

A heartfelt journey through love, loss, and second chances. Three cities. One chance to start over.

Azure nights

Sunshine, secrets... and one life-changing summer.

On a summer holiday in Saint-Tropez, Marina finally reaches her breaking point with her narcissistic partner. When a chance meeting with a man who sees through her defences ignites unexpected passion, Marina must decide whether she’s ready to live life on her own terms.

A sharp, sensual, and emotionally charged story of love, liberation, and starting over.

From Rome to Verona to Saint-Tropez, these sensual, sun-drenched stories follow women on the brink of change, each daring to leave behind what no longer serves them and leap into the unknown.
