She’s America’s sweetheart with a scandal to outrun. He’s Italy’s favorite soccer star with a smile that should come with a warning. One summer. No expectations. And yet…

When a Hollywood scandal explodes across the tabloids, Lena Sinclair does what any disgraced A-lister would do: flees to Italy to lay low and disappear. What she doesn’t expect is Michele Moretti—grounded, thoughtful, and far too willing to see past her carefully crafted walls.

He offers her a tour of his country. She says yes, thinking it’s temporary. But between sun-drenched detours, late-night gelato, and quiet conversations that feel too honest to ignore, their “just friends” act begins to blur.

Set against the postcard-perfect backdrop of Italy, The Road to You is a dual-POV, emotionally immersive romance about second chances, unexpected healing, and two people learning they don’t need to pretend with each other.

It’s ideal for readers who love slow-burn tension, emotionally available men, witty banter, rich character arcs, and open-door intimacy rooted in real connection. No cheating. No love triangles. Guaranteed HEA.

Perfect for fans of summer escapism, emotionally mature love stories, and swoony-but-subtle heroes who fall first.
