Working part time at a used books store and living in her best friend's apartment was not what Isadora had in mind when she decided to flee to Rome after her ex-fiancé let her down in a way she could never imagine.
Her heart starts to beat faster again at the moment she meets Luca, an Italian with dark eyes and messy hair, who enters in the store with a box full of letters. In those paper boxes, Isa discovers a love story from the past, but there is a catch: the ending is not written anywhere else. Wanting some answers, they leave on a journey through the cobblestone streets of the Italian capital.
On her way, Isa faces new desires, feelings, problems and insecurities.
Will she find what's she's looking for?
Or will she find something she could never expect?
Twice in Rome is a novel in which the past and the present intertwine; two love stories wrapped by the poetry of every corner of the Eternal City.
I'll upload new chapters as soon as I finish each translation.

A one-sided love for her new boss Christian makes her say yes to leading the site operation on a villa in Italy belonging to a mysterious Italian businessman, who is rumored to be not only that. Rox also has her own secrets that eat up her inner peace and poison her soul day by day. ---------- A few necessary mentions: - My books contain violence and smut; you have been warned. However (!) It's a slow burn, so don't be disappointed if they don't have crazy sex in the first chapters. They will get laid eventually just that it needs to develop first. Smut is signaled with a note at the beginning of the chapter. The book is meant for mature audience and contains lots of triggers so if you are very sensitive DO NOT read it. -This is a work of fiction and every resemblance with real-life persons or places are only a coincidence, and yada yada. -It should not be copied, but I don't think there is danger of that. 😂 Just have fun and write your own story. -English is (sadly) not my first language, not even my second. Unfortunately, there will be mistakes. Feel free to point them out; I appreciate that.Complete

Valentina Moretti. She's one colorful character. She moves to Italy right after high school. She goes there to enjoy the scenery, to be thankful that her parents met here, and work just a casual job. What she doesn't expect is when she crosses paths accidentally with a stranger, who crossed paths with her on purpose, eventually becomes something much more than a stranger. Luca Alfonso. Mafia leader, 'bad guy', murderer. He's that but so much more. Luca wouldn't ever expect to fall in love with the girl he was supposed to protect. She was his rock, his princess, his light, his everything. I rewrote that about 4 months later ^ Disclaimer: My story sucks in my opinion. It is my first story, my first characters, brand new ideas, writing skills are basically non existent. If you happen to come across this story, read it and actually like it, I give props to you. completed :')Complete
