Love Under a Sicilian Moon

by Annabel Cole

After betrayal upends both her career and her trust, Lia Carter accepts a last-ditch assignment she resents but cannot afford to refuse. She is sent to evaluate a vineyard on a remote Sicilian estate, expecting resistance but nothing more. What she does not expect is Matteo Rinaldi.

Proud, guarded, and bound to the land that shaped him, Matteo has no interest in an outsider questioning his life’s work. Sparks fly from their first meeting, igniting a slow-burn tension neither of them is prepared for. Beneath the sun-warmed hills and ancient vines, duty turns to desire, and desire to something far more dangerous. Hope.

As harvest approaches and secrets stir beneath the Sicilian moon, Lia and Matteo discover that renewal often begins where you least expect it, and that even the deepest wounds can make room for love.

Love Under a Sicilian Moon is a sweet, clean, slow-burn contemporary romance about second chances, emotional resilience, and the courage it takes to trust again. It is low heat, contains no explicit content, and focuses on emotional connection rather than spice.
