What to expect
The spiciest risks lead to the sweetest rewards in this delicious, MM retelling of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Dario Cotogna has a problem: he must marry by his next birthday or lose his family’s chocolate empire to his philandering brother. But Dario’s agoraphobia keeps him trapped at home, so he launches a global competition: five contestants, one week at his luxury Italian Villa and a chance to become his husband.
Aspiring tattoo artist Charlie Moore isn’t looking for love – he’s looking for a miracle to save his grandparents from the bill collectors. But when Charlie meets the brilliant heir, their attraction is instant…
After a whirlwind week of wine, indulgence and temptation, their chemistry grows. But will Dario and Charlie melt under the pressure…or find a love worth savouring?
