Two best friends. One romantic Italian getaway. And one dangerously handsome concierge who wasn't part of the plan.

Daisy, a talented chef from Los Angeles, is ready for an unforgettable vacation in Venice. With its dreamy canals, breathtaking architecture, and romantic atmosphere, Italy seems like the perfect destination.

Until everything goes spectacularly wrong.

On the very first night of their trip, Daisy and her best friend Jeremy are both abandoned by their respective partners.

Heartbroken and stranded in one of the most romantic cities in the world, they begin wondering whether the answer to their relationship problems has been right in front of them all along.

They're already best friends. Why shouldn't they become lovers?

Enter Lorenzo.

Charming, irresistible, and undeniably sexy, Lorenzo is the hotel concierge who offers to help Daisy and Jeremy turn their friendship into something more.

With Venice as their romantic playground, the plan seems simple enough.

Explore the city. Embrace romance. Fall in love with your best friend.

There's just one very inconvenient problem.

Daisy can't stop thinking about Lorenzo.

The very man who's supposed to help her fall for Jeremy is becoming the one person she can't resist.

As their Venetian adventure unfolds, Daisy finds herself caught between the comfort of a familiar friendship and the intoxicating attraction of someone completely unexpected.

Because sometimes the person helping you find love is the person you're actually falling for.

Fun, flirty, and deliciously romantic, The Friends-to-Lovers Project delivers a sun-soaked Italian rom-com filled with unexpected attraction, complicated friendships, romantic mishaps, and one irresistible concierge who might just ruin the entire plan—in the best possible way.
