Sophia de Luca, hair artist extraordinaire, wanted two things in life. She wanted to bring people joy and she wanted to forget that Emelio Greco ever existed, let alone broke her heart.

When Cassia, her new American friend, invites her to Gold Coast, the stylish Roman jumps at the chance, eager for the chance to unwind in a small, uneventful town and recover from her shattered dreams. Only Sophia soon finds that there are women in town who need her desperately. The women of Gold Coast have lost their sense of beauty and wonder. Hair and fashion seem frivolous, but they are potent allies in regaining joy. In helping them, she finds herself revitalized.

Until her past comes to town in the form of Emelio, her ex-boyfriend, who promises he's changed and offers her the world. She's torn between her old dreams and new. Can she really leave her new life behind? Or will Emelio break her heart all over again?

Fortunately, Sophia has more allies than she thought, all intent on helping her discover what she truly needs.
