Jaded by the fakes and phonies she encounters working for the cheesy dating app, Hookupz, Zuri likes things that are real. She cooks real food from scratch, stops for real conversations with her neighbors, and savors beautifully written letters from her real Italian pen pal, Alessandro. 

Agreeing to write letters for his company’s pen pal program turned out to be a mistake. Alessandro’s English is lacking. After two painful attempts to keep up, he strikes a deal: his reclusive brother, Nico, will write to Zuri on his behalf if Alessandro cleans up legal troubles with Nico’s ex. 

Nico is discovering that Zuri might just be his ideal woman…except she thinks her deep connection is with his brother. Now Zuri is on her way to Italy—to meet Alessandro. And Nico is running out of time to win over the girl of his paper dreams before she finds out the truth.
