Description

A burnt-out pop star stranded in small-town Kentucky can't help falling for her unlikely knight in shining armour - the notoriously grumpy owner of the local pie shop - in this charming slice of romance from the author of the TikTok sensation The Cheat Sheet.

'This modern take on the Hepburn classic Roman Holiday is a quick, fun, slow-burn romcom' – ABBY JIMENEZ

Sarah Adams has written the Kentucky-set homage to Roman Holiday I never knew I needed. Full of cozy small-town vibes, a pie-baking hero (swoon!), and a slow-burn romance that will keep you flipping the pages, When in Rome is a charming and comforting escape' – KERRY WINFREY

'My Audrey Hepburn loving heart is so happy! When in Rome is a delectable romance, sweet and satisfying as a slice of warm apple pie' – CHLOE LIESE

'Sarah Adams' books are woven with pure sunshine and rainbows . . . It's everything you could want in a small-town romance, along with a heaping dollop of her signature wit and sparkling charm' – AMY LEA

'You can always count on a Sarah Adams rom-com to be equal parts funny, sweet, and swoony' – SOPHIE SULLIVAN

.......................................

Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her fans, is burnt out from years of maintaining her 'princess of pop' image. Inspired by her favourite Audrey Hepburn film Roman Holiday, and desperate for a getaway from the music business, she drives off in the middle of the night for a respite in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is.

When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn't have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He's too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbours to mind their own damn business. But his heart softens when it becomes clear that years in the public eye have left Amelia lonely and isolated. Soon she'll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she's been missing, and she'll show him how to open his heart to more.

Amelia can't resist falling for Rome and her grumpy tour guide, but she keeps reminding herself that even Audrey had to go back to her real life in the end . . .

........................................

Discover The Cheat Sheet - the heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance that became a sensation on TikTok!

'I just adored this story . . . I'm ready to eat up anything that Sarah Adams writes'

About the Author

Sarah Adams was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. She loves her family, warm days, and making people smile. Sarah has dreamed of being a writer since she was a girl, but she finally wrote her first novel when her daughters were napping and she no longer had any excuses to put it off. Sarah is a coffee addict, a British history nerd, a mom of two daughters, married to her best friend, and an indecisive introvert. Her hope is to always write stories that make readers laugh, maybe even cry - but always leave them happier than when they started reading.
