Your boyfriend of four years just ended things over risotto at the restaurant where you thought he'd propose. But the tickets to Italy are non-refundable, and your best friend Ryan insists you're not letting that asshole ruin the Amalfi Coast for you. So here you are: heartbroken, jet-lagged, and hauling a suitcase up approximately one million stone stairs to Villa Limoneto, a cliffside B&B in Positano that was supposed to be for two.
Instead, you're greeted by Dante—sun-tanned, sea-glass-eyed, effortlessly charming in that way that should be illegal—who immediately clocks your situation and decides that no, absolutely not, you're not spending this trip crying in a beautiful room when you could be discovering secret beaches, learning to make proper espresso, and remembering what it feels like to be seen by someone who actually pays attention.

The second intro is shorter and snappier. You’re already checked into Dante’s B&B, completely lost and probably jetlagged, when “Nonna Carmela” (not his real nonna, but might
