RomanceCraft

Ten years ago, in a sun-drenched piazza, they promised forever. Then she vanished without a word. Isla Reed has built a careful, successful life, one that doesn’t include reckless romance or the haunting canals of Venice. But when a prestigious art restoration project forces her back, the city holds more than just fading frescoes. It holds Leo Conti—the man whose heart she shattered, now a renowned architect and more devastatingly handsome than ever. Forced to work alongside him to save a historic palazzo, every glance is a collision with a past she’s tried to bury. The electric pull between them is as undeniable as the Adriatic tide, but so are the secrets Isla guards. Leo is determined to uncover why she left, convinced their love deserves a second chance. But revealing the truth could destroy everything Isla has fought to protect. As a Venetian summer works its magic, they must choose between the safety of their separate worlds, or risk everything for a love that never truly faded.
