One summer. One house. Their rules.
Nate Calder builds things that stay up. He met his uncle Leo exactly once, at twelve, so the letter from a notary in Amalfi comes out of nowhere: Leo has left him a pink villa above the Amalfi Coast, a vineyard on stone terraces, and one condition. Live at the villa through the summer, or lose it.
It comes with three women who do not need him, and who have already talked it over. Their decision, when they give it to him together, is simple: they will share him, openly, on their own terms. They have even written it down.
Mila skippers the boat, says exactly what she wants, and asks first. Céline is restoring the old chapel stone by stone, has opinions about his engineering, and takes her time. Serafina runs the vineyard, knows every row on the mountain, and makes him wait. And the women want each other too.
The house has a card of rules on the kitchen wall, in three hands. Swim before breakfast. Fix what you break. Wine on the terrace, arguments too. Nobody sleeps alone in a storm.
But a developer wants the view, a stone wall in the vineyard is failing above a public path, and the will has a clock on it. To keep the house, Nate will have to carry stones, learn to swim, and finally let someone hold him up, one hot summer night at a time.
A big-hearted romance with open-door love scenes between consenting adults: one man, three women, a lot of wine, and a house full of rules worth keeping.
