The Italian Billionaire’s Shy Waitress by Marian Tee

Thirty-six days. One corner booth. Zero chance she’ll stop counting the times he’s caught her staring.

Thea Clancy counts everything. Steps to the kitchen (fourteen). Ceiling tiles (forty-seven). Reasons to stay invisible in a small-town Wyoming café (too many to name). But when Italian racing champion Santino Aleotti walks into Gail’s and orders breakfast with that low, unhurried voice, she forgets the specials. Then she forgets how to breathe.

Professional race car driver Santino Aleotti came to Jackson Hole to escape the noise. The speed. The expectations that never stop chasing him around every curve. He doesn’t do attachments. Doesn’t do vulnerable. Until a waitress with anxious eyes and defensive invisibility drops a coffee pot and makes him want to catch more than her wrist.

She’s been invisible her whole life. He’s made her feel seen. But when a beautiful rival moves in and Santino’s racing past comes calling, Thea discovers that being visible means being vulnerable…and the man who taught her to stop hiding might be the one who breaks her completely.
