Choosing Love
(2025)(The second book in the Finding Love in Positano series)
A novel by Mary Henderson
Is it possible to choose love when it finds you?
Corinna Tupelo is not looking for love. Her career in family law, her tight-knit group of friends, and her uptight, nosy parents are enough to handle. Usually, she’s fiercely independent, but when an unnerving incident at work steals her confidence, she’s forced to turn to the one man she can trust. One that she’s placed firmly in the friend zone, even if he’s a gorgeous ex-pro boxer, loyal to a fault, and fun to be around. There is absolutely nothing going on between them. Never mind the butterflies in her stomach when he touches her hand and says, ‘That’s my girl.’
Enzo Lazzara is a confirmed bachelor after his disastrous experience with love in college. All his free time outside work is spent with his new dog, Bolo (Enzo is convinced he’s part human). And then there’s his gym, Inspire Fitness, not only a place for people to achieve their health and fitness goals, but also a safe, after-school tutoring program for teens. It’s a passion project for Enzo, and he’s vowed to be a role model for these young people he’s grown to love. When Corinna comes to him, shaken, he makes another vow: No one will ever make her feel like she’s anything but independent, strong, and beautiful.
The more time they spend together—throwing punches, trading banter, and trying (failing) to keep things platonic—the more it starts to feel like they might just be exactly what the other needs. Sometimes, love doesn’t show up the way you plan. Sometimes, it knocks you off your feet.
Choosing Love is a kisses-only, friends-to-lovers romance where he falls first, filled with all the feels (but without the spice). There’s no cheating, an ‘HEA’, and plenty to swoon over, including a hero with ‘touch her and die’ vibes and a heroine who’ll inspire you to overcome challenging obstacles, even if it means choosing love over everything else.
Corinna and Enzo’s story is the second book in the ‘Finding Love in Positano’ series. Though it can be read as a stand-alone, the best way to experience the story is to read the series in order, starting with Unexpected Love, Aria’s story. Don’t worry—Corinna and Enzo appear in Unexpected Love, too.
Genre: Romance
