She inherited her grandmother's café.
He was hired to help tear it down.
Neither of them planned to fall in love.
For sixty years, Rossi Caffè has been the warm heart of Montréal's Little Italy. Since Nonna passed, keeping its doors open has been Bianca Rossi's fight - and Bianca's alone. She's good at alone. It's safe. Nobody gets to watch a Rossi woman fail.
Then Luca DeLuca walks in: easy smile, good hands, the kind of man who notices what everyone else misses. He's exactly what her guarded heart didn't ask for - and exactly what the café needs, as a developer starts circling Rue Dante and the whole neighborhood digs in to fight.
There's just one thing Luca hasn't told her.
He already signed with the other side.
When Bianca finds the papers, the betrayal cuts deeper than any wrecking ball - because she let him in, and letting people in is the one thing she swore she'd never survive. Now Luca has to decide which side he's really on... and prove that some things are worth tearing your whole life down to save.
Warm, funny, and full of heart, Stirred Up is the first book in the Curvy Café Chronicles - a small-town-feels romance about found family, a nosy lovable neighborhood, and a curvy heroine who never has to change a thing to be adored.

Praise for Stirred Up...
Bianca and Luca's banter is pure gold-I devoured this book like one of Nonna's lemon cookies. Funny, sweet, and so much heart.
Enemies-to-lovers perfection! The foodie details made me hungry, the slow-burn tension made me swoon, and I can't wait for the next sister's story.
About the Author:Helena Moreau writes swoony, slow-burn romantic comedies about strong, curvy heroines, cinnamon-roll men, and the beautiful chaos of falling in love when you least expect it. When she's not baking up fictional wedding disasters or writing flirty banter at midnight, she's drinking too much coffee, misplacing her phone, and pretending not to cry at strangers' love stories. She believes in messy feelings, happy endings, and second chances-preferably with frosting.
