Set in a seaside town in Italy, As Long as It Takes is a charming summer romance about finding your roots and letting love blossom.
Love isnβt exactly a priority for Lora Brooks. After all, her last break-up made it perfectly clear that she canβt rely on anyone but herself. Thatβs why Loraβs number one focus is her research, where sheβs hard at work debunking Maslowβs Hierarchy of Needs. But when sheβs offered a prestigious post-doctoral position in Zurichβone whose funding hinges on her having European citizenshipβeverything changes.
Hoping to claim citizenship through her birth father, Lora and her best friend travel to the quaint Italian town where he was born. She knows little about her father (and intends to keep it that way) but nothing, not even the ghosts of her past, will stand between Lora and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Except, perhaps, Italian bureaucracy. And an outdated filing system. And Andrea, the handsomeβand slightly anxiousβmayor.
Andreaβs plate may be more than full, but in between trying to increase tourism, wrangling quirky business-owners, and debating whether to run for a second term, he somehow finds the time to show Lora what it really means to live, and perhaps love, like a local. Lora is destined for a future hundreds of miles away and Andreaβs parents are pushing him to return to his fast-paced life in New York, but will they discover that their most basic need is actually justβ¦each other?
