After the death of his beloved wife, Anna, Peppi's family
and friends expect him to bury his grief by tending to his
gardens and taking long rides on his bike. Instead, Peppi
shocks them all with his decision to return to Villa San
Giuseppe, the small Italian village where he spent his
childhood, and to il mulino, his family's old mill. But
once he's back, he temporarily moves into an apartment
over the candy factory run by his childhood best friend,
Luca. It is modest, but livable, with a lovely view of
Luca's neglected gardens and his equally neglected
daughter, the fiery Lucrezia. More a force of nature than a woman, Lucrezia's legendary
temper and workaholic schedule hide the very real pain she
feels over her husband's death years before. At first, she
tolerates Peppi as an eccentric annoyance—her father's
strange but handsome American friend who fixes things
around the factory and is bringing the gardens back to
life. But soon, Lucrezia's interest in Peppi deepens. Like
a high wind, the gossip is flying through Villa San
Giuseppe—Lucrezia's making it to dinner on time. She's
eating olives from a man's hand. She's wearing heels. Now,
under the warm Tuscan sun, a tentative romance begins to
bloom between the grieving pair, yielding to a
surprisingly strong passion with the power to heal life's
wounds and promise second chances…
