Description
I analyze risk for a living, spreadsheets, probabilities, every variable accounted for. My job is to keep the company from acting on impulse.
I was days away from signing an agreement that would make me the youngest partner in the firm's seventy-three-year history.
Instead, I found myself standing barefoot on a narrow Roman balcony, trying to recognize the woman who'd just turned it all down for one more month with a man she barely knew.
The question everyone asks me is: "Do you regret it?"
They mean Matteo. The photographer with the impossible eyes and the studio tucked into a side street where time moved differently. The five weeks that rewrote everything I thought I knew about love, ambition, and who I was supposed to become.
The answer is complicated.
Do I regret that afternoon at the Trevi Fountain, or the nights we walked through cobblestone streets when nothing else mattered?
Do I regret letting myself fall completely, even knowing it couldn't last?
No.
Do I regret what it cost me?
That's where it gets interesting.
I'm a planner. He lived in the moment. I needed certainty. He embraced what was fleeting. We were impossible from the start, different countries, different lives.
But impossible loves have a way of teaching you things that safe ones never could.
What I discovered in Rome -- and what came after -- changed me in ways I'm still understanding. Some losses clear space for the unexpected. Some endings are just beginnings in disguise.
Sometimes you have to let go of the wrong love to recognize the right one.
A literary romance about ambition, transformation, and the courage to choose yourself -- even when it breaks your heart.
Perfect for readers of Taylor Jenkins Reid and Josie Silver who love stories where love changes you, but doesn't complete you.
