The Things We Never Said

By Galianos Publishing and Jenny Wangelis

Twelve years of silence. Six weeks together. One second chance neither of them expected.

Vivienne Hart has built a life in London that she refuses to surrender. Restoring a hotel on the Italian coast should be another career milestone-until she discovers its owner is Matteo Bellini, the man she nearly married.

Matteo has poured his savings into the Hotel Aurora. He expected leaking windows, difficult suppliers, and sleepless nights. He never expected Vivienne to walk through the door.

Working side by side brings back everything they thought they had put away: the laughter, the longing, and the hurt neither fully understood. Shared dinners become lingering kisses. Every unfinished conversation draws them closer to the truth-and to each other.

But attraction was never their only problem.

Vivienne's future is in London. Matteo's is tied to the hotel. With opening day approaching, they must decide whether loving each other again means repeating the past-or finding the courage to build something different.

Set against the beauty of the Italian coast, The Things We Never Said is a standalone contemporary romance novella about second chances, meaningful work, and a love worth speaking up for.

Expect mature protagonists, slow-burn tension, passionate kisses, fade-to-black intimacy, and a heartfelt happy ending.
