Escape to the sparkling shores of Lake Garda in this BRAND-NEW wish-you-were-here romance, where luxury and desire collide at one of Italyâ€™s most exclusive cookery schools. 🌞â›µ🍷💖Perfect for fans of Jennifer Bohnet, Gillian Harvey and Phillipa Ashley!â€˜Sun-drenched, deliciously romantic, and utterly escapist! This is a love story to savourâ€™ Heidi Stephens A glamorous escape. An irresistible attraction. Amyâ€™s life runs like clockwork â€“ as personal assistant to a notoriously sharp-tongued celebrity food critic, sheâ€™s used to managing chaos without ever creating any of her own. But everything changes when she's sent to a prestigious Italian cookery school and meets Tad, the enigmatic and quietly brilliant head chef running the show. As sparks fly in the kitchen, Amy finds herself drawn into a world far removed from the one sheâ€™s always known. But with her demanding boss determined to be the centre of attention â€“ and possibly Tadâ€™s too â€“ Amy must decide if sheâ€™s ready to step out from behind the scenes and take a chance on love. Set against a backdrop of shimmering lake views and old-world luxury, this is a story of forbidden love, personal reinvention, and the courage it takes to follow your heart.🥂🍾💖 Praise for Rachel Barnett: âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸ 'This is the perfect summer book!'
