Overview

Falling in love wasn’t on the syllabus.

Lucia Fitzroy lives in her sister’s garage and hasn’t set foot in Italy since her heart was spectacularly broken years ago. Teaching night-school Italian is as close as she’ll let herself get.

Lark Thatcher is eternally helpful. But she can’t keep a job, just moved back in with her mum, and accidentally introduced herself as a small horse on day one of class.

When a mysterious benefactor sends the whole night-school class on a field trip to Florence, the grumpiest teacher in England and her most chaotic student are forced to plan the excursion together. Cue limoncello disasters, terrible picnic wine, and feelings nobody ordered.

But how do you fall for someone who’s allergic to staying? And what happens when the country that broke your heart is calling you back?
