Waiting For Love

Sometimes, love happens in an instant. Other times, it takes almost a lifetime... Sofia Rossi is sick of being pushed toward love—just because her girls have found their HEAs doesn’t mean she’s next. As an executive at her family’s cosmetic company, she has a full life. In fact, she’s leaving Positano and heading to San Diego to learn from the wildly successful CEO of another organic beauty company. Things get a little complicated when she meets a handsome California surfer named Lucas on her last free day in SoCal before starting her internship. He’s got sandy blonde hair, sapphire blue eyes, and tattoos, and they spend a perfect afternoon together on the beach. When she walks into Earth Organix the next morning, she comes face-to-face with a grumpy CEO who just happens to be the free-spirited Lucas from the beach. Imagine her surprise when he pretends not to know her. Luke Austin is tired of maintaining his persona as the cold-hearted CEO who keeps people at a distance. He longs to be the kind of man his grandmother would be proud of, but guilt keeps the mask firmly in place. That is, until he meets a beautiful Italian woman on the beach near his home. When he saves her from a rogue seagull and invites her to spend an afternoon with him, he’s suddenly feeling a connection he wasn’t expecting. The next day, he walks into his office and comes face-to-face with the woman he can’t stop thinking about. As he spends more time with Sofia, he keeps feeling like there’s something familiar about her that reminds him of a girl he loved long ago. Despite a rocky start, Sofia and Luke can’t fight their startling connection for long. It’s almost like they’ve been waiting for each other.
