When in Rome

“This modern take on the Hepburn classic Roman Holiday is a quick, fun, slow-burn rom-com.”—Abby Jimenez, bestselling author of The Friend Zone

ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR

Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her adoring fans, is burned-out from years of maintaining her ‚Äúprincess of pop‚Äù image. Inspired by her favorite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is. 

When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn‚Äôt have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He‚Äôs too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbors to mind their own damn business. Despite his better judgment, he lets her stay in his guest room‚Äîbut only until her car is fixed‚Äîthen she‚Äôs on her own. 

Then Noah starts to see a different side of Rae Rose‚Äîshe‚Äôs Amelia: kindhearted and goofy, yet lonely from years in the public eye. He can‚Äôt help but get close to her. Soon she‚Äôll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then, Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she‚Äôs been missing, and she‚Äôll help him open his heart to more. 

Amelia can’t resist falling for the cozy town and her grumpy tour guide, but even Audrey had to leave Rome eventually.
