Waiting For Love
(2025)(The third book in the Finding Love in Positano series)
A novel by Mary Henderson
Love can happen suddenly, but sometimes it waits almost a lifetime...
Sofia Rossi is done being everyone’s next romance project. Her friends may have their happily-ever-afters, but she has a career, a ticket to San Diego, and zero time for distractions. As head of the R&D department at her family’s cosmetic company, her only focus is on learning from the brilliant, younger CEO thousands of miles away.
The plan was in place: six weeks in sunny Southern California, then back home to Rome to implement all she’s learned.
But on her first free morning, she meets a gorgeous man.
A sun-kissed surfer. Tattoos. Perfect beach day. No personal information, not even a kiss. One unforgettable afternoon.
Luke Austin has spent years perfecting his distant, no-feelings-allowed CEO persona. Falling for the gorgeous older Italian tourist with a sweet smile, sharp tongue, and impossible chemistry? Not part of the plan.
Naturally, the next morning after their impromptu date, he turns out to be the grumpy CEO she’s supposed to spend time shadowing. And then the fun begins.
What neither of them realizes?
They’ve done this before.
Long ago, as kids.
First crush. First almost-love. The one that got away.
Now fate has thrown them back together with secrets, sparks, and feelings that refuse to stay buried.
Despite their rocky start, Sofia and Luke can’t fight their startling connection for long. It’s almost like they’ve been waiting for each other.
Because some love stories don’t just start once. They merely wait for the right time to begin again.
Tropes:
Grumpy vs Sunshine
Friends to Lovers
Secret Identity
Reverse Age Gap
Forced Proximity
It Was Always You
Genre: Romance
