24 Hours in Italy

Romi Moondi. W by Wattpad, $17.99 trade paper (360p) ISBN 978-1-990778-36-0

Moondi reunites Mira and Jake, the protagonists of 24 Hours in Paris, for another whirlwind romance that doubles as a vivid armchair vacation to the Amalfi Coast. After getting together in Paris, Mira and Jake are ready to take on the world—until the harsh realities of life dim the memory of the City of Light. A family medical crisis calls Mira back home to Upstate New York, and though Jake tries to support her, they can’t make the long-distance work. Two years after their breakup, Mira moves to Italy hoping for self-discovery and healing. She knows from social media that Jake has moved on and attempts to do the same herself. Fate has different ideas, however, throwing the pair back together for a mutual friend’s Italian wedding. They have 24 hours to find closure—but instead they’re pulled back in by the chemistry between them that never faded. Their ensuing adventure across the gorgeous coastline rivals their Parisian escapade, complete with mouthwatering descriptions of pasta and Italian ice. Readers will swoon for this sequel. (July)
