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.

WOW! Any book with an Italian setting is one that I want to read! This one does not disappoint! It is jam packed with laughter & banter right from the start! Kate did such a wonderful job with the writing in this book, I felt as though I was right there in Italy.
I absolutely love Violet! She is full of sass & doesn’t let her age get in the way of her dream of becoming a fashion designer. Matt was such a loveable grump! You could feel the chemistry between them!
This book had me laughing to the point of tears! I loved when Violet was getting back at Matt for stuff he said on the phone. This group of characters were a delight!
What a fast, fun read! I look forward to reading more of her work!
