Spending every summer together exploring his grandfather’s chateau and the tumbling rivers of the gorgeous Ardèche region of France\, they were best friends. Until he married someone else. \nThree years later\, a newly single Jackson re-enters Grace’s life with an irresistible offer: her dream job in the very town where their story began. As memories from those idyllic summers flood back\, Grace encounters another old friend Étienne\, who proposes a plan to make Jackson jealous. Their scheme begins to work just as Grace finds herself questioning if the sparks between them might not be so pretend after all. \nBut games can be dangerous\, and Étienne is harboring a secret that could shatter Grace’s heart. \nAbout the Author: \nPaige Toon grew up between England\, Australia\, and America and has been writing emotional love stories since 2007.

It’s where she learned how to be a great chef. It’s also where she first fell in love. But at nineteen\, Olivia had a wanderlust she couldn’t deny. And Carmello\, whose mother owned the restaurant\, couldn’t leave Celia’s Place behind any more than he could force Olivia to stay. \nNow\, ten years later\, Olivia is a successful personal chef. Her job allows her to travel the world\, and she has never stayed in the same place for too long. When Carmello learns that his mother left shares of her beloved restaurant to both him and Olivia\, he plans to buy her portion of the shares back quickly and painlessly. \nThat is until Olivia shows up at the restaurant\, ready to help run it. Carmello sees an opportunity: drive Olivia away from his restaurant so that she will want to sign over her shares. But Olivia sees things a bit differently. She finally has the chance to stay in one place and build a home after years on the move\, and perhaps now is the right time to explore whether that home can be with the one who got away. \nSoon enough\, sparks begin to fly\, but can Olivia and Carmello avoid the mistakes of the past? \nAbout Riss M.
