Luca Conti is the funniest, most aggravating, most relentlessly self-confident man in the Cosa Nostra Crown network. He has opinions about everything. He is correct about most of them. He is spectacularly wrong about the ones that matter.
Sofia knows all of this. She also knows that she left him. That she had her reasons. That Matteo — now ten months old and possessed of his father's eyes and his mother's ability to make assessments and stick to them — was not part of the plan she'd made when she wrote the note.
She did not plan to come back. She came back anyway, with the boiler seal she'd promised and a complete renovation of the spare wing and absolutely no intention of making any of this easy for him.
Luca has never once found easy interesting.
They are going to have to talk about the note. They are going to have to talk about quite a lot of things. Luca is going to be insufferable about all of them, and somehow, impossibly, also right.
This is the most annoying part.
Tropes
Second chance romance · Single parent · Forced proximity · Found family · Funny hero · Slow burn earned heat
