Not on the Itinerary

What if the most important part of your journey was never on the itinerary?

Cleo has built her life around plans.

As a professional wedding planner, she knows how to organize every detail, solve every problem, and keep every event running exactly as it should. Control isn't just part of her job-it's how she protects herself.

When a destination wedding brings her to Verona, Italy, she's focused on making the weekend perfect for everyone else. Ancient courtyards, elegant celebrations, and carefully arranged schedules leave little room for distraction.

Then she meets Rafe.

He's the groom's best man, thoughtful, observant, and unexpectedly easy to talk to. While Cleo is busy managing timelines and expectations, Rafe seems more interested in the moments that can't be planned-the quiet conversations, the hidden corners of the city, and the experiences that happen when people stop trying to control every outcome.

As the wedding weekend unfolds, a simple connection begins to grow into something neither of them expected.

Set against the romantic backdrop of Verona's historic streets, sunlit piazzas, and unforgettable evenings, Not on the Itinerary is a heartwarming contemporary romance about second chances, learning to trust yourself again, and discovering that sometimes the best things in life arrive completely unplanned.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy uplifting romance, charming Italian settings, emotional authenticity, and slow-blooming connections filled with warmth, hope, and genuine heart.

Not on the Itinerary is part of the Italy Romance Collection by Elise Morgan, a series of feel-good love stories set in some of Italy's most beautiful destinations.
