A Tender Romance of Second Chances, Resilience and Love Found on the Shimmering Shores of Lake Como.
Former Canadian ice hockey star turned reporter Lena MacDonald travels from Prince Edward Island to Italy determined to find Alfonso Bellini, the Milan soccer player whose career is under fire. Awaiting the tribunal that could decide his future, Alfonso has withdrawn to his villa on Lake Como -- a man adored by millions but isolated by doubt.

When Lena literally crashes into his life, Alfonso reluctantly steps in to care for her. What begins as an accident soon becomes something neither expected. Behind the headlines is a vulnerable man fighting to stay whole. And Lena, who knows the weight of shattered dreams, offers him strength, honesty, and a way back to himself.

Yet Alfonso gives her something too: protection, patience, and a quiet devotion she never imagined. Still, when Lena glimpses his world -- a glittering Milan life of cameras, glamour, and sophisticatedd women -- she feels achingly out of place. Natural and authentic, she is everything his world is not.

As love steadies them both, Lena must decide if she can risk her heart on a man whose future is uncertain, in a world where she may never belong.

A tender romance of second chances, resilience, and love found on the shimmering shores of Lake Como.
