Learn moreThe ones that got away reunite at a big Italian wedding in this second-chance romance from debut author Ali Rosen, the James Beard Award–nominated writer and host of Potluck with Ali Rosen.
Stella Park is elated to celebrate her best friend’s wedding in the Italian countryside—and maybe she also needs this escape from her personal and her professional life. Writing recipes for a living isn’t all it’s cooked up to be.
But the revelry is short lived when she runs into the ex she hasn’t seen since she broke his heart ten years ago, Samuel Gordon. As her past gets propelled to the forefront, Stella tries not to question the choices she made a decade ago.
When Stella and Samuel keep getting pushed together during a weekend filled with delectable food, Indian and Italian wedding traditions, and unplanned detours in gorgeous locales, she attempts to ignore that maybe he really was the one that got away.
Playing it safe has always been Stella’s dependable rule book. But maybe Samuel is worth the risk—and perhaps some love stories just need more time to marinate.
Ali Rosen is the author of Recipe for Second Chances, a novel about which New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels said she “couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.”
Aside from loving escaping into fictional worlds, Ali is also the Emmy- and James Beard Award–nominated host of Potluck with Ali Rosen on NYC Life as well as the author of cookbooks, including the bestselling Amazon Editor’s pick Modern Freezer Meals and the upcoming 15 Minute Meals. She has been featured on shows like the Today show and Food Network’s The Kitchen and has written for publications including Bon Appétit, the Washington Post, and New York Magazine.
She is originally from Charleston, South Carolina, but now lives in New York City with her husband and three kids and can usually be found wandering the Union Square Greenmarket or curled up in a chair reading a romance novel. Connect with Ali online at www.ali-rosen.com and find her on Instagram and Twitter: @Ali_Rosen.

It's no surprise that Rosen's rich description of Indian and Italian fare is mouthwatering.… This audio will appeal to listeners seeking a playful nom-nom rom-com full of food, friendship, and fun. Recommended for fans of Christina Lauren, Jennifer Weiner, and Amanda Aksel.” —Library Journal
