Sun, 22 May 2022 10:11:25 +0300

What happens when a medical examiner leaves cold bodies and cold winters behind to chase her dream of running a travel agency in a warm, sunny beach town?

Lucy Landish has put a decade into her career, but a heartbreaking divorce and a mother whose medical needs are growing increasingly demanding have driven her to chase her dream south—way south—to Amelia Island, Florida.

The crew that signs up to spend Valentine's Day in Venice during Carnival includes a young widow with a promise to fulfill to her late husband, and a couple of randy, cantankerous septuagenarians. But in the midst of the historical city and all the color and drama of Carnival, Lucy finds herself missing Amelia Island and the two men who are vying...
