more!!!) and she’s sponsoring today’s newsletter. OPEN TO INTERNATIONAL!! COMMENT ON THE BLOG POST TO ENTER (and check out this amazing guest post of fun)!!! In fact, here's a fun fact about the series to start us off. The author tells us:
Lussuria (book 1) kicks off with Lexi, the protagonist, going on holiday to a cooking villa in Tuscany. She experiences her second chance encounter here with Lucca Caruso, and so their explosive journey begins.
Food, cooking, and hospitality features in The Luminara Series. Lucca owns Osurac Industries trading in the hospitality industry, health, fitness & well-being, and construction. Lucca comes from a family of chefs and is an amazing chef himself.
I got my inspiration for this from my parents. They were both chef’s and owned a catering business, so the food and hospitality industry has been a big part of my life. I also used to be a fitness instructor. That’s where the inspirations came from to have Lucca own a fitness club, which coincidently is where he has his first chance
encounter with Lexi.
