Hi! We’re MéLisa Ryun, high school sweethearts who write steamy open-door romantic comedies so hot they’ll melt your Kindle. Our mission? To give you love stories that are so hilarious they’ll have you laughing like a tipsy bridesmaid, ugly-crying into your wine, and drooling over book boyfriends hotter than a Vegas summer—or a shirtless Henry Cavill.

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. Meghan Quinn fans will love this Opposites Attract, Vacation Fling, Road Trip romance with steamy Forced Proximity and Snarky Banter as Foreplay.
