Note To Self: Don’t Fall For Your Tour Guide's "Rock Solid" Tower of Pisa.There are two types of people: planners and chaos-makers. I, Katie Crawford, am the former—color-coded, laminated, and ready for anything. So when my fiancé dumps me for being too Type A, I do the logical thing: fly to Italy with my cougar aunt’s senior-swingers’-bus-tour to prove I can be spontaneous.The plan: Loosen up. Be fun. Win my fiancé back. The problem: Him.Matteo Monti—ridiculously gorgeous, charming, and smug. My Italian tour guide who treats life like a never-ending holiday. He calls me Checklist. I call him Walking Red Flag. Now, thanks to some highly suspicious booking errors, we’re sharing hotel rooms, stealing kisses under Venetian stars, and fighting over who's in control (Spoiler: It’s me. Obviously).Tour Guide Rule #1: Don’t Catch Feelings.Ciao, I’m Matteo, and I have a system. Show tourists Italy, flex my forearms, avoid emotional entanglements. Simple, right? Until I meet her—Katie—stubborn, uptight, and impossible to resist. The more I push, the harder she pushes back. And now? I'm forgetting why I ever made rules at all.She's running from perfect. I'm hiding from forever. But on these winding Italian roads, we might just crash right into love.A spicy, laugh-out-loud romcom about desire, detours, and what happens when life refuses to follow the itinerary.
