To the young woman’s surprise, an error has occurred and she will have to share the suite with Charlie, a very attractive and kind British boy. Although at first they are determined not to get along, the relationship between the two gradually escalates until it becomes an irresistible attraction.
The romantic Italy and the emblematic city of Romeo and Juliet
