One woman who runs from feelings.

One man who lives with ghosts.

One second chance they never planned.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do… is stay.

Diana Amato has always been in control. Fierce, polished, and fiercely independent, she’s come to Bormio for one reason: a twelve-month stint as COO of Ricci Enterprises that will give her younger brother the fresh start he desperately needs. Feelings? Off the table. Permanence? Never. And kissing? Not since him.

But Bormio doesn’t just come with alpine peaks and steaming hot springs. It comes with Gianni Morelli, the world-famous climber with a reckless streak and the unnerving ability to see straight through her armour.

When a new art initiative throws them together, old wounds resurface. Their undeniable chemistry collides with years of silence, secrets, and a kiss neither of them ever forgot.

He’s still haunted by the one friend he couldn’t save. She’s still terrified of giving anyone the power to hurt her again.

Bound by family ties, small-town entanglements, and a project that forces them to face what they’ve both been avoiding, Diana and Gianni must decide: will they keep running from their demons or finally face them together?

🔥With Love, Limoncello is a laugh-out-loud, slow-burn, steamy romance filled with sizzling chemistry, emotional healing, and the heart of a small Italian town that knows everyone’s secrets. Expect banter, angst, soul-deep connection, and a happily ever after worth the climb.

Perfect for fans of second chances, forced proximity, reverse sunshine-meets-grump dynamics, found family warmth, open-door steam, 🌶️🌶️🌶️ and stories about healing and hope.

Because sometimes, love isn’t about leaping into the unknown. It’s about finding the strength to hold on.

Get your hands on With Love, Limoncello today and fall for the kind of love that lingers—long after the last sip.

What People Are Saying About With Love, Limoncello

Book Club Discussion Topics Logo
Book Club Topics

First Impressions

Diana arrives sharp, controlled, and untouchable; Gianni is calm, observant, and far softer than his reputation suggests.

👉 How did these first impressions shape your expectations of their dynamic—and did they make you reflect on how quickly you judge someone at first glance?

Identity & Belonging

Diana has lived her life on the move, never staying long enough to risk roots. Bormio pushes her into stillness—and into connection.

👉 Which moment felt like her first step toward belonging, and did it remind you of a time you resisted slowing down or settling in your own life?

Grief, Guilt & Growth

Gianni carries emotional weight quietly, navigating loss in a way that’s gentle rather than heavy.

👉 How did his journey shape your understanding of healing, and did any part of his growth echo something you’ve experienced?

Chemistry & Tension

Their banter, their restraint, and that long simmer of denial create a slow burn built on depth rather than speed.

👉 What moment made you feel the shift between them—and did it change how you connect with slow-burn romances?

Secrets & Vulnerability

Both characters hide behind armour—her polished competence, his quiet calm. Letting each other in becomes the catalyst for change.

👉 Did their guardedness mirror real behaviour you’ve seen (or felt), and did it influence how you think about opening up?

Art as Healing & Expression

From sketches to murals to the teens at the Foundation, art becomes a bridge between pain, truth, and connection.

👉 Which artistic moment stayed with you, and did it shift how you view creativity as a path to healing?

Found Family & Trust

Bormio surrounds them with people who support, challenge, and see them clearly—without demanding perfection.

👉 Which side character touched you most, and did their role deepen your own understanding of trust, belonging, or chosen family?

The Ending

Their HEA brings closure, possibility, and emotional honesty without tying everything too neatly.

👉 Did the ending feel earned for you, and did it leave you reflecting on what healing and courage look like in your own life?
