Pistachios, a grumpy (yet sexy) neighbor, and the recipe for unexpected love…

Juliette thought she was starting over by leaving Paris, her boyfriend and her orderly day- to-day… She was convinced that her new life would taste like her favorite dessert, pistachio tiramisu: soft, sweet, and daring.

But instead of doing yoga in the sun with Taylor Swift’s latest album playing in her ears, Juliette must face the mistrust of the residents of Monteluce. Orso, her grumpy neighbor with raw charm, is the toughest of them all. An olive oil producer fiercely attached to his land, he seems to take malicious pleasure in complicating her life. Between them, the chemistry isn’t just there, it’s electric.

What if Juliette and Orso discovered that love, like the best recipes, is born from the most unexpected combinations?

Emily Collins thrives on sunshine, vitamin D, and Taylor Swift albums. Living in the south of France, she loves to imagine elusive heroes and heroines with sharp wit. The rest of the time? She sips tangy cocktails by her pool, surrounded by her longtime group of friends and her golden retriever.
