The Lemon Villa

Some secrets smell of lemons. Some loves transcend time.

For fifteen years,

Sophie Brenner has avoided Tuscany. Fifteen years since that tragic night changed her life forever. But when her grandmother dies and bequeaths her the legendary Villa Limoni, there's no turning back. What Sophie doesn't know: She's not the only heir. Matteo Santini-her first great love, the man she left without a word-inherits the villa with her. And Nonna's will contains a condition that changes everything: They must live together in the dilapidated villa for a year and rebuild it together. Among fragrant lemon groves and under the golden Tuscan sun, a battle begins-against time, against debt, against the shadows of the past. But the closer Sophie and Matteo get, the clearer it becomes: The greatest challenge isn't saving the villa, but healing two broken hearts. Can they forgive each other? Can they let go? And can a new future grow from the ruins of the past-fragrant and golden like the lemons that have flourished on her family's land for generations?

A novel about second chances, the power of forgiveness, and a love stronger than pain.
