Yet things start to go wrong from the moment of their arrival - her Italian wedding planner is more laid back about the arrangements than she’d hoped, and seems more interested in Molly's best friend than her wedding. Bridesmaid Caroline has never been to Italy but she’s heard all the rumours about swarthy Italian men and their charms. So when she happens across a handsome native who seems intent on showing her the best of everything the city has to offer, she wonders if romance is truly blossoming, or if it’s just a fleeting encounter. The wedding ceremony is set to take place on Christmas Eve in a small Italian church near the Trevi Fountain, after which the happy couple and their guests plan to celebrate by throwing coins in the fountain as per the famous legend. But with so many ups and downs during their short stay in Rome over Christmas, will any of Molly and Ben's wedding party want to return? Or will the picturesque magic of the Eternal City over the holiday season ensure they never want to leave.... ESCAPE TO ITALY All stories are standalone and can be read in any order.
