'After losing her parents in a tragic accident, and having her then eleven-year-old face splashed across every newspaper in Italy, Lucia will forever be known as l'Orfana. Years later, Lucia is a perpetual hot mess, hiding away from the outside world, running her parents' Italian language school.

'Between dates to uncover her mysterious kissing Casanova, the quest to save her beloved school, dodging paparazzi, and dealing with her infuriating - yet infuriatingly handsome - new neighbour, will Venice's most famous singleton sink or swim?'  (Publication summary)
