Returning from a business trip, Louise Rhodes finds the boyfriend she intended to spend the rest of her life with in bed with another woman. Louise wants to escape and hide from everyone—so a new work trip comes at just the right time. She needs to bring back to life a hotel lost in the countryside of Piedmont, and she makes herself a vow: only work, no thoughts about men. But keeping that promise isn’t so simple. Before she leaves, her boss invites her to dinner, and at the table they discuss not only business.
What’s more, in Italy Louise meets Paolo—someone who once was her first love and who seems not at all opposed to returning the old times. But the hardest part is not thinking about Vito, the reclusive man—the former owner of the hotel…
Will Louise, in this secluded corner, be able not only to restore her peace of mind, but also to find hope for new feelings?
