Love & Gelato meets Donât Date Rosa Santos in this charming, heartfelt story following a Miami girl who unexpectedly finds loveâand herselfâin a small English town.
For Lila Reyes, a summer in England was never part of the plan. The plan was 1) take over her abuelaâs role as head baker at their panaderĂa, 2) move in with her best friend after graduation, and 3) live happily ever after with her boyfriend. But then the Trifecta happened, and everythingâincluding Lila herselfâfell apart.
Worried about Lilaâs mental health, her parents make a new plan for her: Spend three months with family friends in Winchester, England, to relax and reset. But with the lack of sun, a grumpy inn cook, and a small town lacking Miami flavor (both in food and otherwise), what would be a dream trip for some feels more like a nightmare to LilaâŚuntil she meets Orion Maxwell.
A teashop clerk with troubles of his own, Orion is determined to help Lila out of her funk, and appoints himself as her personal tour guide. From Winchesterâs drama-filled music scene to the sweeping English countryside, it isnât long before Lila is not only charmed by Orion, but England itself. Soon a new future is beginning to form in Lilaâs mindâone that would mean leaving everything she ever planned behind.
