A Grove of Lemons. A Side of Laughter. A Scheming Italian Grandmother. An emotionally rich Italian escape blending second-chance love, family secrets, humor, food, and the healing magic of returning home. When food designer Elena Whitmore abandons her Boston career to rescue a family's crumbling distillery in Sorrento, Italy, she expects sun-drenched days and a chance to start over. What she doesn't expect is Matteo DeLuca-the man she once loved, now running the business and still managing to infuriate her with every perfect smile.
As they clash over everything from flavor profiles to the future of the family grove, the ghosts of their past simmer to the surface. Old sparks ignite. Tempers flare. And hovering in the background-armed with a rolling pin, a rosary, and a plan only she understands-is Nonna Lucia, who believes divine intervention sometimes needs a little help. Set on the lemon-scented cliffs of Sorrento, Love and Limoncello is a sun-soaked romantic dramedy about rediscovery, forgiveness, and the magic that happens when life and meddling grandmothers collide.
Perfect for fans of Letters to Juliet, Solo Mio, and anyone who believes that love-like limoncello-is best when served with a twist.
