A Night in Rome on a Full Moon: A Novel-in-Verse in Five Acts - Paperback

by M. O. Dada (Author), Holly Welker (Editor)

A Night in Rome on a Full Moon is a raw and intimate novel-in-verse that traces one impulsive night between two people who have spent eight years orbiting each other through screens, silence, and digital longing. After narrowly missing each other in Spain, an unplanned trip to Rome finally brings them face-to-face-where desire becomes a doorway, revealing who they are beneath the roles, routines, and masks they've learnt to wear.

Told across five poetic acts, the story moves with lyrical honesty through longing, identity, and the hidden cost of choosing passion over duty. As the lovers step into a connection that was never meant to last, the city around them becomes both witness and accomplice-its ancient streets echoing their inner monologues, its beauty sharpening the tension of a secret that can't survive daylight. Even knowing their story won't lead to forever, they allow themselves the rare freedom of being fully seen, unburdened by tomorrow.

With flowing, cinematic language and emotional transparency, this encounter becomes more than a fleeting affair-it becomes a remembrance of the selves they abandoned, the selves they ache to reclaim, and the selves they might still become. What unfolds is an exploration of home, temptation, identity, and the thin line between giving in and waking up.

Perfect for readers drawn to deeply introspective romance and poetic storytelling. A Night in Rome on a Full Moon captures the kind of connection that doesn't ask to be solved-only witnessed.
