Official synopsis Publisher
“Lila Rosetti Sinclair is headed home to Sunshine Bay to make the final plans for her wedding day when she is shocked by two life-changing surprises: a positive pregnancy test and the news that her family’s business is struggling. Lila is determined to give this baby the close-knit family that she never had growing up. But the second surprise provides a complication when Lila learns that her fiance’s family has invested in the competitor to her family’s restaurant. Her perfect vision of the future is further muddled when she runs into her childhood crush, Luke Hollingsworth, and gets two more surprises: the crush was mutual and she finds herself confiding in him. Lila’s mother, Eva Rosetti, loves life, her family and friends, good food and wine, dancing and singing, and sex with no strings attached. But when she blew out the fifty candles on her birthday cake three months earlier, it was as if she’d extinguished a part of herself. She’s lost her joie de vivre, and her restaurant La Dolce Vita has been failing too. Helping to plan her daughter’s wedding brings her in close contact with her ex-husband, and Eva finds herself reconsidering her views on life and love. As mother and daughter work to rebuild their lives and reconnect after years of estrangement, can they each find a second chance at romance?”–
