When we were fire on fire
A New Adult romance novel
Book 2 in the Italian Romance series
Francesco doesn’t believe in second chances. Five years after an awful breakup, he’s determined to focus on his career and not let anything or anyone distract him from his goals. When his unpredictable ex suddenly comes back into his life, his brain knows he shouldn’t hope for a change, but his heart doesn’t want to listen.
Eric’s feelings have never wavered. Francesco is, and will always be, the love of his life. But love is not everything in a relationship, and Eric is painfully aware that even though he could be the person Francesco wants, he may not be the one he needs.
The festive atmosphere of Milan during Christmas time brings the two men together in a story about self-hate and self-love, and learning to trust again. Can you give your love to another, when you can’t even forgive or love yourself?

What readers said about
When we were fire on fire:
LILY – GOODREADS REVIEW
‘When we were fire on fire’ has absolutely sealed its place as one of my favourite books of all time. I just cannot cope with sweet, precious Fra. Elen Chase has a wonderful pattern of writing novels that are one thing on the surface, but another entirely once you dive beneath their depths.
T. L. – GOODREADS REVIEW
You will care deeply for these characters.
I don’t remember the last time two characters made such an impact on me like Francesco and Eric in Elen Chase’s “When we were fire on fire.” I read this book in two nights, consumed by the story from the start. This is the second book in her Italian Romance series – and it did not disappoint!
D. P. – GOODREADS REVIEW
To everyone who feels that they’re not good enough for others or themselves, I highly recommend giving this book a read. Let the simple yet beautiful and honest words from this author touch you and give you the assurance you need that it is okay to not be okay.
