When the daughter of a diplomat finds herself fake dating a Scottish celebrity in Italy, she embarks on her own Roman Holiday until their emotions become genuine and the paparazzi pounce. Astoria ""Story"" Herriot, introverted and slightly anxious, knows Rome like the back of her hand, thanks to her attorney mother and their life in the city. But her tranquil existence is disrupted when she accidentally gets caught up in a fake dating scheme with Scottish heartthrob Luca Kinnaird, aimed at protecting his relationship with a pop princess. Enticed by Luca's promise to fund a scholarship in her late father's memory, Story agrees. Soon, she's showcasing the best cafes, exploring iconic sights like the Mouth of Truth, and enjoying picnics at the ruins of the Abbey of Santa Maria del Piano with Luca. While Story's travel guide skills are impeccable, her knowledge of celebrity life or her burgeoning feelings for Luca is nonexistent. As she pretends to be Luca's guide, and then his girlfriend, they attract the attention of the paparazzi, blurring the lines between what's real and what's fake as their worlds collide. Luca, sophisticated, wealthy, and possessing a charming accent, surprises Story at every turn, perhaps even shaking up her meticulously planned future. Their story unfolds like a fairy-tale romance in the Eternal City, but with unexpected twists and turns.
