It is the 6th and final book in the Italian Summer Series ** Twenty-two years ago, Elsa Ramirez had much to be grateful for; two daughters and a husband who doted on her. Life was sweet, until one day, Viktor left to run an errand, and never came home again. Widowed and alone, Elsa devoted her life to her girls, showering them with love and raising them as best as she could. Now, with the passing of time, her daughters are grown up and with families of their own. She is left feeling like a third wheel, watching from the sidelines with nothing but romance novels to recapture the spark of her younger years. Until life gives her a second chance at love, in the form of Salvatore Cortese, a gruff and unlikely suitor. Is it possible to connect with someone and start over, even at this late stage in her life? Or has love come too late? Maybe it's never too late for a new beginning.
