Or could it lead to a steamy plot twist they never saw coming?Look for all of Sarah Adams’s When in Rome books:WHEN IN ROME • PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT • BEG, BORROW, OR STEAL (Coming Soon!)

Her hope is to write stories that make readers laugh, maybe even cry-but always leave them happier than when they started reading.
