Synopsis

Frankie Piccione is done running away from her responsibilities - for now, anyway. Two years after fleeing Westenbury with a shattered heart, it's time to return and take up her place on the board of the family business. Piccione's Pickles and Preserves is floundering, and Frankie knows she can turn it around. But with her brother Luca and the new, rather attractive, Cameron Mancini watching her every move, she's going to have to come up with something special to persuade them that she belongs on the board just as much as they do. Frankie begins to thrive with her new sense of purpose, until someone from her past walks right back into her life and threatens to ruin everything. . .

Goodreads review by Pam on June 05, 2021

What a treat this latest return to the village of Westenbury turned out to be. There is plenty of variety in the writing, with three timelines to follow and a lovely cast of characters to follow. Frankie and her family are at the heart of the story and you get to see her before and after her love af......more
