When a down-on-her-luck woman lands a dream job as a private investigator, there's just one tiny problem—she has absolutely no idea what she's doing, and she may have seriously oversold her qualifications. Enter Luca, her gorgeous green-eyed assistant who's mysteriously hard to read and dangerously easy to fall for, especially when he's her literal coworker and everything about dating him screams bad idea. With her meddling seventy-year-old Italian grandmother of a neighbor egging her on and more than a few Limoncello-fueled stings going sideways, she's scrambling to keep her job, her cover, and her heart intact. But as the tension between her and Luca sizzles higher, she can't help but wonder if something this thrilling could actually be the real deal—or if it all comes crashing down when he discovers she's been faking it all along.
