Publisher Description
“Hands down a standing ovation from me!” —Suzanne Park, author of So We Meet Again, on Here for the Drama
A Most Anticipated Book of the Season by Goodreads, Distractify and Biblio Lifestyle!
When an American interning at a fashion house in Rome butts heads with her professor's surly son, sparks fly!
With her thirties rapidly approaching and a mountain of student debt looming over her, Violet Luciano’s dream of finishing design school and working in fashion has cost her everything. So when she lands an internship at an up-and-coming fashion brand in Rome, she brings her A game to Italy. With nothing left to lose, Violet plans to win the competition among the interns for the ultimate prize—a job at a New York label.
But when a coffee run goes wrong and Violet accidentally destroys a stranger’s laptop, all of the apology Americanos in the world won’t help her. Because it turns out that the man from the café is Matteo, her professor’s eternally grumpy son, who thinks she’s a clumsy American…and maybe a stalker. Their animosity (and undeniable chemistry) grows as together they’re forced to face a summer of chic parties, adventures through Rome and sharing a home…with the person they can’t stand the most.
The more time she spends with him, the more distracted she finds herself. With her chance to win the competition slipping out of her grasp, Violet has to decide whether to say ciao to Matteo—or ciao to her dreams.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bromley (Here for the Drama) doesn't miss a beat with this international enemies-to-lovers contemporary. Violet Luciano, 29, gets a step closer to the professional dreams that she put on hold for her ex-boyfriend when she wins the opportunity to intern with a fashion designer in Rome for a month. In the eternal city, she trips and falls into successful screenwriter Matteo "Matt" Leoni at a café. She is beyond mortified and apologizes profusely to the cold but gorgeous stranger—then she learns that he's her new boss's son and they'll be living in the same villa for the rest of the trip. They've gotten off on the wrong foot, but as they get to know each other, their witty hostility turns to genuine closeness and love. Rome offers Violet the opportunity to finally let go of her past, discover her passion, find genuine friendship, and embrace the love she deserves, and readers will root for her on every step of this empowering journey. The world of Roman high fashion provides a glitzy and appealing backdrop. This will be just as much of a treat for armchair travelers as it is for hopeless romantics.
