In a life-affirming, poignant, and evocative novel set against unparalleled beauty of the Tuscan countryside, a couple's plans to spend the summer renovating an old property go awry in surprising and sometimes wonderful ways . . . Full of heart, charm, and queer joy for readers of Steven Rowley, Linda Holmes, Bryan Washington, and Paul Rudnick.

In a life-affirming, poignant, and evocative novel set against unparalleled beauty of the Tuscan countryside, a couple's plans to spend the summer renovating an old property go awry in surprising and sometimes wonderful ways . . . Full of heart, charm, and queer joy for readers of Steven Rowley, Linda Holmes, Bryan Washington, and Paul Rudnick. Stories don't always unfold quite the way you expect them to, and Adam Webb has reason to be glad of that. Out of the blue, he's inherited a farmhouse and castle in Tuscany from a great uncle he never met. It's the catalyst for Adam to give up his HR job in Manchester and fly out to Italy for the summer to do repairs on the home he hopes to turn into a rental. The best part: he'll be sharing this summer of adventure with his partner of two years, Theo. It's a fairytale in the making. But there's a last-minute twist, in the shape of Theo's three children. Theo's ex-wife can't take them for the summer after all, so Callum, Mabel, and Archie are coming to Italy too. Their open hostility to their dad's boyfriend isn't helped by the lack of Wi-Fi and the mounting chaos of renovation problems and bad plumbing, not to mention the resident lizards and mice. Despite everything, Adam finds himself falling in love with the place, whether he's watching golden sunsets from the castle ruins with Theo, sipping coffee on the patio, or driving around the neighboring medieval towns. And as they sort through Uncle Wilf's possessions, another story begins to take shape-one that will help Adam navigate the family secrets that have marred his past and the decisions that will shape his future. What emerges isn't a fairytale, but it's a rich, complex narrative of love, acceptance, and second chances that could pave the way for the best kind of happy ever after.
