ABOUT THE BRIDGE BACK TO YOU:
Olivia owes everything to Celia’s Place. It’s where she learned how to be a great chef.
It’s also where she first fell in love. But at nineteen, Olivia had a wanderlust she couldn’t deny, and Carmello, whose mother owned the restaurant, couldn’t leave Celia’s Place behind any more than he could force Olivia to stay.
Now, ten years later, Olivia is a highly successful personal chef who’s traveled the globe and learned to balance her endometriosis diagnosis with her demanding career.
But after years of flitting from place to place, she thinks she might be ready to find a place to call her home.
When she discovers that Celia left shares of her beloved restaurant to both her and Carmello, she thinks it may be the perfect opportunity to find her way back to the place—and man—she once loved.
But Carmello has a different idea in mind. Still stung by Olivia’s abrupt departure when they were younger and balancing fatherhood with running the restaurant, he plans to buy her portion of the shares quickly and painlessly.
That is, until Olivia shows up at the restaurant, ready to help run it. Carmello initially sees this as an opportunity to drive Olivia away so she will want to sign over her shares, but he quickly realizes that her perspective might be the thing they were missing to breathe new life into Celia’s Place.
Soon enough, sparks begin to fly, but Olivia and Carmello will find that it’s just as easy to repeat past mistakes as it is to fall back in step with each other.
