Operation Sunshine
A grumpy businessman.
A chaotic sunshine waiter.
One restaurant that might just cook up the love of a lifetime.
Ben Whitaker is done with high-stakes deals and soulless late nights in Melbourne’s corporate jungle. He moves to Adelaide for a fresh start, convinced that buying a cozy neighbourhood restaurant will mean peace, quiet, and control.
Instead, he gets Franco Rossi.
Franco is pure chaos, a whirlwind waiter with cheekbones, charm, and a big heart. He believes everyone deserves a perfect love story… except, apparently, himself.
Ben lives by rules and spreadsheets. Franco lives by gut feelings and grand gestures. The last thing either of them expects? Instant, electric chemistry that sizzles hotter than the kitchen’s stovetop.
As Franco crashes into Ben’s neatly ordered life with flirtatious smiles and late-night tiramisu, Ben’s icy walls start to crumble. But opening up means risking everything—his pride, his plans, and the carefully guarded heart he’s kept under lock and key.
In a world of wine-stained confessions, stolen glances, and found family, Ben and Franco will have to decide: can they turn this unexpected spark into something real… or will their differences tear them apart before dessert?
Will Ben let the sunshine slip through his fingers?
Opposites attract, found family, grumpy/sunshine, big city escape, and a whole lot of slow-burn heat—this is a love story that will leave you hungry for more.
