A vacation second-chance romance where love must survive the one thing Venice can't hide - the truth.
Pastry chef Cordelia Dyer and British historian Royce Brownell have escaped to Venice for two weeks in a private palazzo overlooking the Grand Canal. A holiday filled with gondola serenades, candlelit dinners, and a love that feels invincible, until the past walks through the door.
When Dr. Evie Lin reappears, Royce's brilliant former student begins dismantling Cordelia's confidence in happily ever after: casual touches, calculating words, and a version of him that she doesn't recognize.
Soon, charming Italian composer Lorenzo turns his attention toward Cordelia, and Royce's jealousy surfaces in ways that threaten to prove Evie right. As trust crumbles and old wounds tear open, both must face the fears they've been masking: Cordelia's terror of becoming her mother, and Royce's guilt-driven need to save everyone but himself.
In a city built on water and illusion, love must be fought for at a masquerade ball where the real masks finally come off.
Perfect for readers who love the emotional complexity of Mhairi McFarlane, the sun-drenched tension of Annabel Monaghan's Same Time Next Summer, and the wit and warmth of Emily Henry's Book Lovers.
