Laura, a bold and stylish Italian language tutor, has built a life she loves, filled with glamorous parties and exciting company, far from the painful memories of her past in Rome. But when circumstances pull her back to the Eternal City, she finds herself facing old ghosts she thought she'd left behind. Just as she's settling in, her charming yet awkward student, Alex, turns up with an unusual request: he needs her help to find a missing family will, a document that could change everything for his family.
Their search draws them deep into the heart of Rome, where the lines between teacher and student begin to blur. Sparks fly as they navigate the city's winding streets and hidden corners, each moment together chipping away at Laura's defenses. Despite Alex's boyish good looks, flannel shirts, and easy smile, she never imagined she'd feel this way about her younger student. But as their chemistry intensifies, Laura starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, this is more than a passing flirtation.
Meanwhile, Alex is fighting his own battles. He's desperate to prove himself to Laura, determined to show her he's more than just a kid still living at home with zero Instagram followers. But just as he begins to think he might win her over, his fiercely protective mother steps into the picture. She's dead set against her son falling for an older woman, especially one with a fiery Italian spirit like Laura's.
With family pressures, cultural clashes, and the looming shadow of Laura's past threatening to come between them, Alex and Laura must decide if their love is worth the fight. Will they risk it all for a chance at something real, or will the obstacles in their way be too much to overcome?
