After a devastating breakup, Natalie Bright swaps London's gloom for the sunlit charm of Chamillon on the beautiful French island, Île de Ré. Determined to focus on herself-not romance-she fills her days writing for the local magazine, savoring pain au chocolat at Café Belle Vie, cycling through vineyards, and wandering the bustling farmers market. But when Jay Merino-her irresistible teenage crush-suddenly reappears, Natalie's carefully crafted plans are thrown into disarray. Old sparks ignite, tempting her to risk her heart just as she's finally finding her feet. Will a second chance at romance complete her new beginning, or threaten the happiness she's fought to rebuild? Bursting with sunshine, French pastries, and feel-good charm, Café Belle Vie is the perfect escape for fans of Imogen Payne, Polly Babbington, and T.A. Williams.
