If any place can turn two best friends into lovers, it’s Venice. Well, only if you don’t have a dreamy tour guide like Lorenzo…
A destination to fall in love…
For LA chef Daisy Hogan, this trip to Venice is the start of her new life – inspiration for her California restaurant, saying yes to stability and basically fulfilling all her dad’s dreams. But then the trip goes sideways, and she’s left in the most romantic city in the world with her best friend, Jeremy. He’s stable, reliable. If she wants to salvage the future she planned, maybe she should fall for her friend?
Enter Lorenzo Fontana, hotel concierge by day, violinist in his dreams. He gave up music for a practical life in the city he loves, and to keep his job, he’s vowed to be Daisy and Jeremy’s personal guide to romance. Only he’s not supposed to be feeling this personal about their project…
With racing hearts, longing glances and gondola rides, Daisy begins questioning her plans and even her future.
A brand-new spicy rom-com set in Venice, for fans of love triangles and hot violinists in 2025!
