One charming billionaire playboy. One no-nonsense powerhouse. Twelve months of hell—or something far more dangerous.
Victoria Esposito has spent years keeping Ricci Enterprises running like clockwork. She’s loyal, brilliant, and ready for the promotion she’s earned. But instead of stepping into the COO role, she’s sent to Lake Como for a one-year assignment under the last person she wants to work with: Carlo bloody Ricci.
He’s infuriatingly charming, too rich for his own good, and allergic to responsibility. She’s everything he isn’t—disciplined, driven, and absolutely immune to his charm.
Carlo has a lot to prove. The spare son. The family screw-up. He’s spent a lifetime disappointing others—including himself. Taking over Ricci Vineria is his chance to show he’s more than the family playboy. But with Victoria overseeing every move he makes, things get complicated. The more they clash, the harder it is to ignore the pull between them.
She’s duty-bound, all business, and emotionally off-limits.
He’s entitled and hiding more wounds than he lets on.
They can’t stand each other. They can’t keep their hands off each other.
But secrets simmer beneath the surface. Old wounds resurface. And the lines between duty and desire start to blur.
Can they find common ground—or will it all come crashing down?
Dolce Devotion is slow-burn office romance packed with explosive chemistry, sharp banter, hidden vulnerability, and a battle of wills that might just end in surrender. Expect late-night tension, forced proximity, emotional armour, forbidden desire, and a love that refuses to be ignored.
Perfect for fans of enemies to lovers, powerful heroines, workplace stakes, secret wounds, and a billionaire who falls first.
One winery. One year. One unexpected love that changes everything.
Get swept up in Dolce Devotion—Book 2 in the Amore Series. Standalone romance, guaranteed HEA, shared world of sizzling chemistry and delicious chaos.
What People Are Saying About Dolce Devotion
Book Club Topics
First Impressions
Victoria sees Carlo as “reckless, charming, and far too used to getting his way.” Carlo sees her as bossy and untouchable. Were their first impressions accurate—or clouded by bias?
Have you ever judged someone based on reputation alone? How did reality line up once you got to know them?
Duty vs Desire
Victoria is duty-bound to Ricci Enterprises, while Carlo wrestles with proving he’s more than the family screw-up. Their pull toward each other disrupts those obligations. Does love make them weaker—or stronger?
In your life, how do you balance responsibility with personal longing?
The Role of Secrets
Carlo hides insecurities behind charm. Victoria shields herself with discipline and ambition. How do these hidden vulnerabilities shape their relationship—and its risks?
Do you believe keeping emotional “armour” is necessary in love, or does it prevent true intimacy?
Chemistry & Banter
From late-night arguments to stolen glances, Victoria and Carlo’s chemistry simmers beneath constant conflict. Does their banter deepen their connection—or is it a distraction from facing their fears?
Do you ever use conflict or sarcasm to mask attraction? Can fighting ever bring people closer?
Found Family
Between the Ricci brothers, Victoria’s loyalty, and the vineyard crew, “family” is messy but central. Which relationships beyond the romance stood out to you most?
Do you believe family is about blood, loyalty, or choice?
The Setting

Have you ever been in a place where environment—whether glamorous or challenging—shifted your perspective?
The Hero Falls First
Carlo’s walls start cracking earlier than Victoria admits hers do. Why does the “hero falls first” trope work in this story—and how does it change how we see Carlo?
In your own experience, is one person usually more vulnerable first—or is it mutual?
The Ending
Were you satisfied with how Carlo and Victoria’s year-long battle of wills wrapped up? Did their resolution feel earned given their rocky start?
Do you crave neat, tied-up endings—or do you prefer stories that leave some messy truths lingering?
