The Italian Lakes Affair (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781806562268)

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 Italy's most exclusive cookery schools.For fans of Sheila O'Flanagan, Ruth O'Leary, Lucy Diamond!

A glamorous escape. An irresistable attraction.

Amy's life runs like clockwork - as personal assistant to a notoriously sharp-tongued celebrity food critic, she'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 she's always known. But with her demanding boss determined to be the centre of attention - and possibly Tad's too - Amy must decide if she'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.
