Having just been fired, Francesca has three immediate requirements: a coffee, an extremely calorific pastry and a new hob. Stopping off at her favourite café, Giovanni's, she manages to pick up all three!

Fran's new job working for darkly handsome Giovanni Mazetti is fantastic - except she soon discovers it comes with a tantalising caveat: pretending to be his adoring girlfriend! It's all to get Gio's interfering grandmother off his back, not to mention his parents, sisters, aunts... It's a tough life, but someone's got to kiss the oh-so-sexy Gio, and it might as well be her... if only it could be for real! But when the kisses start happening in private, Fran discovers that breakfast at Giovanni's has a whole new meaning...
