What happens in Italy stays in Italy. But what’s supposed to happen if you start falling in love?
Lawyer Olivia Wright is in Amalfi for one reason: to present at a prestigious medico-legal conference and prove that she’s at the top of her field. After her boyfriend cheated with his secretary, Liv swore off men for good.
No more mistakes. No more heartache.
Until Dr Lawson Fisher walks in. He’s her ex’s friend and the definition of a silver fox. This tempting plastic surgeon should be off-limits. But one smouldering glance across a candlelit restaurant, and Liv’s good intentions dissolve into the sultry Italian night.
Lawson offers what Liv knows she shouldn’t want: a reckless, wickedly hot weekend with no strings. She should say no. But how can she resist the man who makes her feel desired for the first time in years?
Lawson’s own scars run deep, with heartbreak and betrayal he’s never shared. For three unforgettable nights, he’ll worship Liv’s body and tease her mind. Hinting that what begins as pure pleasure could prove to be something far more.
When Monday comes, will they walk away with only memories of one passionate weekend… or take a chance at the forever neither of them believes in?

Collins Cartwright does not want to go home. Sweetwater Peak, Wyoming, was supposed to be in her rearview mirror, but when she finds out a developer is trying to buy her parents’ antiques shop out from under them, she doesn’t have a choice—at least, that’s what she tells her family. They don’t need to know she’s lost her job and is out of money. Or that the ghosts who have always been her companions have recently gone silent.
But just because she’s returned home doesn’t mean she has to stay with her parents or crash on her twin sister’s couch. Lucky for her, the new-to-town upholsterer has a room for rent above his store. Unluckily, it is absolutely crawling with more ghosts who are freezing her out. And Collins hates being ignored.
Brady Cooper is absolutely and totally fine. Seriously, there’s no secret reason why he decided to uproot his life and suddenly move to Sweetwater Peak. He just needed a change of pace. At least that’s what he tells himself. And everyone else.
When he agrees to let the elusive Collins Cartwright stay in his spare room, he doesn’t know that she’s absolutely bonkers—constantly talking to herself and having conversations with no one—or that she looks like that. But as they begin to get closer, the lines between them start to blur, leaving both of them—and the ghosts who have been pushing them together—wondering whether their temporary arrangement could be something more permanent.
