Falling for the Italian Dream

Eight years ago, on 29th February, wedding planner Sophie-Leigh Kirke took matters into her own hands and proposed to the man she loved.

But when her boyfriend Andreas rebuffed the romantic gesture, heartbroken Sophie cut all contact with the gruff mountaineer, determined to get on with her life.

When the destination wedding agency she works for merges with an adventure travel company to create unique ceremonies for outdoor enthusiasts, Sophie is horrified to discover Andreas works there. Even worse: he's been assigned as her guide for a scouting trip to Italy, in search of the perfect location for a summit-top wedding.

Thrown together to make another couple's romantic dreams come true, all Sophie can think about are the dreams she once had for them. But when the truth of what actually happened eight long years ago finally emerges, will Sophie risk imagining a happily-ever-after and opening her heart to Andreas again...?

Escape to beautiful Italy with Leonie Mack for a sizzling, summery, feelgood romance perfect for all fans of Emily Henry, Lindsey Kelk and Sarah Morgan.
