Roman Awakening

At forty-two, Emma thought her life was set in stone. Twenty years of marriage, a successful career, a predictable suburban existence. Then her husband walked out, leaving her with divorce papers and a choice: stay safe or start over. Rome wasn't supposed to change everything. What begins as a month-long escape to heal her broken heart becomes a journey of rediscovery she never saw coming. In the eternal city, Emma finds herself caught between three very different men: Marco, the passionate chef who teaches her that food is love; Alessandro, the sophisticated art dealer who shows her Rome's hidden treasures; and Luca, the younger guide who makes her feel reckless and alive. For the first time in decades, Emma is living for herself. But as her month in Rome draws to a close, she must decide: return to the life she knew, or embrace the woman she's becoming. Sometimes you have to lose everything to find who you really are. A steamy contemporary romance about second chances, self-discovery, and the courage to start over. Perfect for fans of mature heroines and exotic settings.
