When the daughter of a diplomat fake dates a Scottish celebrity in Italy, she soon finds herself living her own Roman Holiday until the feelings get real and the paparazzi's knives come out. Introverted, slightly anxious Astoria "Story" Herriot knows everything about Rome-her mom's an attorney here and the two of them are living la dolce vita... at least until Story's off to college in the fall. But when Story is in the wrong gelato shop at the right time, she's swept up in a fake dating scheme with Scottish heartthrob, Luca Kinnaird, to protect his relationship with a pop princess. There's something in it for her, too-Luca promises to help fund a scholarship in her dad's memory. Soon she's showing Luca the best cafes, sightseeing at the Mouth of Truth, and picnicking at the ruins of the Abbey of Santa Maria del Piano. Story's travel guide skills are 10/10, but what she knows about being a celebrity-or having feelings for one Zero. Pretending to be Luca's guide-then his girlfriend-gets the paparazzi's attention . . . and what's true and what's fake gets blurry as their different worlds crash together. Sophisticated, hot, rich, and with the most charming accent ever, Luca is full of surprises. And maybe, too, is Story's perfectly planned future. It's a fairy-tale romance in the Eternal City...will it have a fairy tale ending
