The fourth standalone novel in C.J. Duggan’s sassy and sexy HEART OF THE CITY series from the internationally bestselling author of the SUMMER and PARADISE series. Rome wasn’t built in a day . . . but it’s only going to take one for Sammi’s world to crumble. How did a self-orchestrated gap year turn into a less-than-enthralling lifestyle as a couch potato at her parents’ house? Determined to get motivated and join life again, Sammi Shorten books a budget Bellissimo Tour to Rome, the Eternal City. What she hadn’t signed up for was being stuck with an eclectic group of binge-drinking foreigners in a bed-bug-infested hostel from hell. Things in Rome really couldn’t get much worse . . . could they? When plans go completely awry Sammi’s left with only one option, and it’s the one place she really doesn’t want to turn - to the man who might very well get her into the worst trouble of all: the gorgeous local tour guide, Marcello Bambozzi.
