But when personal and professional disaster strikes her only chance to save her career is to
complete her new cookbook before the end of the summer. Panicked Jules returns to her family’s
beloved olive farm on the shores of Italy’s stunning Lake Garda. Seeking culinary inspiration

collection of family recipes. Jules’s plans quickly go awry as she discovers that Nonna’s
cookbook has magical and unpredictable powers. It reveals only one recipe at a time offering a
cooking experience guaranteed to satisfy the chef’s palate and bring clarity to their life. Yet
the pages remain stubbornly blank for Jules. To make matters worse the olive farm is in deep
financial trouble and Jules soon uncovers a web of family secrets involving the cookbook and a
lost recipe for orange blossom cake that holds the key to everything. Then there’s Nicolo the
boy next door who broke her young heart years ago. He is now all grown up even more
attractive and the only person poised to help Jules find answers. In a whirlwind summer
beyond her imagination Jules begins to unravel the mysteries baked into her family’s history
and discovers the essential ingredients to create the future of her dreams.
