Love at Fourth Sight by Ariella Zoelle
Suite Dreams, Book 3
When Luca’s job brings him to a small town for business, he quickly discovers the magic of falling in love with a feisty local.
Luca Revello
As someone who grew up in the city, I experience some culture shock when I travel to the picturesque, small town of Wintervale to help an older couple launch their new ski resort. While almost everyone warmly welcomes me, I seem to rub the owners’ son the wrong way. While Albie seems determined to chase me away, his feisty nature makes him irresistible to me, despite our fifteen year age difference.
It may not be love at first sight, but by the fourth time we meet, I feel like I’m starring in my very own romantic comedy with Albie. Can the magic of a small town bring us a happily ever after worthy of the best schmoopy movies?
Albie Farnese
I want to hate Luca with everything I have. An outsider like him should have no business telling my family how to run our business. But instead of the stuffy, obnoxious know-it-all I expect to show up, Luca has the audacity to be charming, handsome, hilarious, and ridiculously perfect, making it impossible to hate him. Ugh, he’s such a jerk.
If I can’t hate him, I guess that means I have to love him for being the living embodiment of my dream boyfriend. The man even bakes like a master pastry chef! Who could resist a baking god? Certainly not me. Honestly, his only flaw is not being a permanent resident of Wintervale. But I can be very persuasive when it comes to getting what I want, so why should I let that pesky little detail stop us from being together?
Love at Fourth Sight is the third book in the Suite Dreams series and part of the Sunnyside universe. This novel features a small-town, age gap, instalove, opposites attract romance. If you love cute sweetness, sexy fun, and no angst stories that will make you laugh and swoon, you’ll enjoy this satisfying HEA without cliffhangers. Each book can be read as a standalone or as part of the series in order.

Chapter 3: Albie Farnese
Carmine enveloped me in a big hug. “Albie, my man! It’s good to see you!”
I returned the embrace, very conscious of Luca observing our interaction. “Sorry, I know it’s been a while. How have you been?”
“Good, but I’m a lot better since this gorgeous guy showed up.” Carmine tilted his head in Luca’s direction. “I don’t know how you’re getting any work done with him around to distract you.”
“Not all of us think with our dicks,” I muttered, causing Luca and him to burst into laughter, drawing curious gazes from other customers in the café.
“Sure, but some of us prefer prioritizing its interests,” Carmine retorted with a wicked grin. “I was offering to give him a personal tour of the area once I’m off work tonight.”
I blanched at the idea of the two of them walking around town, hand in hand, then kissing in front of the hotel. It was easy to picture Luca inviting Carmine up to his room to continue their evening of fun. Nope, I didn’t like that thought at all. Something that felt a hell of a lot like jealousy churned in my stomach. It also didn’t help that Luca attempted to hide his amusement behind his coffee mug. I could barely spit out the words “That won’t be necessary.”
“Are you planning on entertaining him tonight instead?” Carmine’s green eyes were bright with teasing. “That would be very unlike you.”
My pride insisted I defend myself. “Hey, I could entertain him if I wanted to!”
“For what it’s worth, I’m extremely entertained right now,” Luca added. I hated the way his gorgeous, gray eyes seemed to sparkle with light and somehow make him even more stunning. “You’re also welcome to join me.”
A question came out of my mouth before I could stop it. “Do you mean at your table or tonight after my shift?”
“Both work for me.” He nudged the chair across from him out to indicate I should sit.
Carmine seemed to have a realization that I was still in the dark about. “Ahhh, gotcha. I see how it is. Message received loud and clear. Sorry.”
I looked at him in confusion. “What are you talking about?”
“You’ll have to forgive my friend. Sometimes he’s a little slow on the uptake,” Carmine told Luca, before he forced me to sit. He squeezed my shoulders when I objected at the manhandling. “I’ll bring you your usual, Albie. Have fun, boys.”
Since I was staying for a while, I shrugged out of my coat. “What’s he talking about?”
Luca’s lips turned up in a teasing smile. “I believe he was referring to the fact that I’m more interested in spending my free time with you than him.”
His response rendered me speechless at how easily he admitted such a thing, but I recovered quickly. “Why? I’ve been such a huge jerk to you today. Why would you willingly spend time with me?”
“Because we have a difference in opinions.”
I frowned at his nonanswer. “Meaning?”
“You think you’re being a jerk. I think you’re being adorable.” He took a sip of his drink as he studied me over the rim of his mug. “Clearly, we’re viewing our situation in different lights.”
