About Whispers of the Heart
When architectural photographer Elena Marchetti escapes her crumbling New York life to restore her grandmother's forgotten villa on the Italian Riviera, she expects solitude and healing. What she doesn't expect is Julian Ashford—a devastatingly charming British landscape architect with secrets of his own, hired to redesign the very gardens surrounding her family's estate. Set against the sun-drenched hills and azure waters of Porto Serena, a fictional coastal town where time moves slower and hearts open easier, Whispers of the Heart is a sweeping contemporary romance about second chances, the courage to love again, and the unexpected places where we find ourselves. As Elena and Julian are forced to work together, their initial clashes give way to stolen glances, midnight conversations on moonlit terraces, and a connection neither saw coming. But when shadows from Julian's past threaten to unravel everything they've built, Elena must decide whether to protect her carefully rebuilt heart or risk everything for a love that feels written in the stars. Perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks, Jojo Moyes, and Emily Henry, this emotionally rich novel will transport you to the Italian Riviera and remind you that sometimes the most beautiful things in life are the ones we never planned for
