Two sisters she's never met

A first love who's impossible to forget...

For Jade, life in Lake Como is la dolce vita. Until her beloved grandmother passes, leaving Jade not just the family's bustling guesthouse to run, but two life-changing secrets to confront...

The pensione hasn't just been left to Jade, it's also been inherited by her sisters - who she had no idea existed. As Erin and Rosalie arrive in Italy, Jade is forced to face the heart-wrenching prospect of sharing her last remaining tie to the woman who raised her.

Jade is desperately trying to hold on to the past, but there's one person she would prefer to leave firmly behind: her first love, Leo. He's back in the city that is filled with the memories they once made together. But as Jade fights to take control of her future and her heart, why do all cobbled roads lead back to Leo?

Lose yourself in the first, utterly romantic novel in a brand-new trilogy, filled with new beginnings and second chances. Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan and Milly Johnson.

A brilliant start to a new series from Sue Moorcroft. 

This book is full to the brim of secrets and it sends Jade on a topsy-turvy ride about family, friendship, and trust.

The author really puts Jade through the wringer in this story, as it seems just as she is adjusting to one life change, another one is hot on its heels. 

This was compelling reading at its finest. I was hooked from the first few pages, and was still astounded by the end. 

I loved getting to know Jade and Leo, who are both really lovely people. 

There is a lot going on, and I was totally there for every second of it 

I am already very eager to read the rest of this trilogy. Bring it on!

Thank you to Renegade Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
