The Florence Footnote

By Brea Zee

The Florence Footnote
Series: The Binder Files, Book 5 Hero: Alex Torres Heat Level: Steamy

Four days. One city that refuses to be temporary. And a photographer who takes her picture at the exact moment she stops deciding what to look like.

After Book 4's perfect, terrible exit, Mia books a work trip to Florence and matches Alex Torres - travel photographer, local knowledge, built-in expiration date. Category Five: Travel Companion. She has four days, a leather goods campaign to shoot, and the most airtight defensive posture of the series. Florence cannot hurt her if she doesn't let it.
Florence does not care about her spreadsheet.
Alex has spent a decade documenting other people's lives and missed every moment of his own. He turns the same patient, specific attention on Mia that he gives to cities he loves - through a viewfinder, completely, with unhurried devotion. At the Mercato Centrale, he photographs her laughing and shows her the image later. "That's what you look like when you're not deciding what to look like," he says. She will keep that photograph for years.
Day four: airport. Boarding gate. The photo is still on her phone. She boards the plane. She cries over the Alps and tells herself it's the altitude. She knows it isn't. And somewhere in her Binder queue, a new match is waiting.

Perfect for readers who love:
vacation romances that gut you at the airport, travel photographers who see the thing you weren't looking at, the heartbreak of a right-person-wrong-timing almost, and heroines who finally understand what they've been costing themselves.
