Driven and efficient businesswoman Vivienne Alexander reluctantly finds herself at a speed-dating night after her friend buys her a ticket. It'll probably be a waste of time anyway, she tells herself. She doesn’t need a relationship to make her whole. So, when an alluring stranger with bright smiles and a riot of auburn hair predicts Vivienne will be in her bed by the end of the night, she’s not sure which is more surprising: the sheer cockiness or the thrill that shoots through her.

Evie Parata breezed out of her small town as a teenager to see the world and never looked back. But with her first Christmas without her mother approaching, she’s lonelier than ever. Going home to regroup seemed like a great plan. Getting stranded outside her ex’s bar? Not so much. While Davy O’Connor is willing to invite Evie into his home, falling for her is another matter entirely. He’s been there, done that, and has the emotional scars to prove it. With lingering feelings, and a few new ones, can they overcome their painful past to take a second chance at love?

Agata Selvaggio left the family law firm for good reason and is now the proud owner of a thriving café at the heart of her village. She knows her family’s judgment is the price she’s paid for her independence, and all she wants to do is forget and move on. Matu Samuelson is good at taking care of people, at least he was when he worked as a tour guide in the New Zealand wilderness. What he hadn’t expected was Agata—resourceful and so independent she’s reluctant to let him get close. Gaining her trust is something he knows he could be good at, if only she’d let him.

Vanessa thought her life was perfect—an awesome career as a food writer, traveling the world and doing whatever she wanted. But then everything changes. Her assignment goes wrong. She gets stranded in an old villa in the middle of Italy, and an unexpected letter digs up emotions she’s worked damn hard to bury. Everyone relies on Enzo, he’s the responsible one of the family, unlucky in love but always ready to help out a stranger in need.

Finally home for the holidays, Caterina Boraldo is ready to strut her stuff. A new job at a swanky interior design firm and a new look. But back home, is she so different from that awkward teenager desperate to escape working class drudgery? She’ll keep smiling regardless, and it’s hard to not smile with gorgeous Antonio around. Despite his grumpy reputation, Antonio Caputo is doing a favor for his friend; helping with a renovation at La Villa Rosa which keeps him busy before Christmas.
