About the StoryNathan Wells is an architect from Boston, Massachusetts, who prefers schedules and carefully thought-out decisions. So, when transportation delays cause him to miss his flight home from Rome, he sees it as little more than an inconvenient nuisance. Stephanie Bentley couldn't be more different. A high school English teacher from Seattle, Washington, she misses a different flight back to the States because she simply lost track of time within a small Italian bookstore.
Optimistic, spontaneous, and endlessly curious, she's exactly the kind of person Nathan would never expect to cross paths with. With no flights available for five days, both unexpectedly find themselves staying at the same small hotel in the heart of Rome. A shared breakfast leads to a morning walk, and the morning turns into an afternoon. Soon they're walking through hidden streets, discovering neighborhood cafés, getting lost on purpose, and sharing the kinds of conversations that make time seem to disappear.
As the days and hours pass, a friendship forms and grows into something quite unexpected. Via heartfelt laughter, genuine conversations, and surprising adventures, while overlooking the city, Nathan and Stephanie begin to realize that the most significant emotional bonds often develop when life suddenly deviates from the route you planned. But their extra time in Rome is coming to an end. Soon, flights home, distant cities, and separate lives begin drawing closer, and both must face the question they've been avoiding: What happens after this?Set against the classic backdrop of Rome, Italy, Somewhere Between Rome and Home is a gentle, uplifting contemporary romance about chance encounters, second chances, and the remarkable possibilities hidden inside life's unforeseen detours.
Sometimes the flight you miss turns out to be the journey you were meant to take.
