In this Summer Escapes story by Sophie Pembroke, Daphne returns to the Tuscan villa where she once shared a beautiful summer romance. Only when she’s reunited with her past flame, she’s left questioning if her lingering feelings are real, or just déjà vu.

Second chance at forever?

After devoting her life to her family, it’s time for Daphne to finally put herself first. So when she’s gifted a cookery course in Tuscany it feels like Karma. And when she arrives to find it’s at the beautiful villa where she spent that glorious summer in Luca’s arms, her memories flood back — it’s almost as if he’s there. Except, now a celebrity chef, Luca is real! Their reunion might feel like a dream, but can Daphne dare to believe that fate has brought them together for a reason?
