Romancing Rome

by Kacie Taylor

(Be aware this book may release earlier than it’s pre-order release date)

Sydney feels stuck. Not that she has a good reason to be. She’s currently working for some pretty cool people as a live-in nanny, caring for the most adorable twins ever. And they’re all headed overseas for a special vacation. But nannying was never her life’s goal. (Maybe just a fun side quest?) She’s always dreamed of being a teacher, like her mother, but her first foray into the education field after graduating was…not good. It left a few scars, inside and out. A second chance has come along, but is it really what she wants?

What she doesn’t want is an arrogant expat ruining her once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy.

Nolan left the states to help the family business, dedicating his efforts seeking out the best specialty products and ingredients for Vittoria, their high-end Italian restaurant, named after his beloved nonna. Did the move across the Atlantic also put distance between him and his failed engagement? No comment. That’s all in the past. Maybe it’s time to look to the future. With his two best friends flying over to celebrate their anniversary and his birthday, he’s hoping to climb out of his self-imposed social rut and stop being a grump. Seeing his favorite twins should help.

Then he meets the nanny. It’s not his best moment, leaving her less than impressed. She’s also everything he’s been avoiding for the past three years. So why does he feel so at home when she’s near? Can the magic of Roma bring these two hearts together?
