๐โ๏ธ Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood
โค๏ธ๐ฅ What feels wrong can sometimes feel oh-so-right... especially under the Sicilian sun.
๐ About the Book
From Sunday Times & New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood (author of Deep End) comes a sizzling, heartfelt, and utterly addictive romance set against the backdrop of Italyโs Ionian coast.
๐ฉ๐ Maya Killgore, 23, is still figuring out life, love, and her place in the world.
๐ผ Conor Harkness, 38, is her brotherโs best friend, a successful biotech executive, and the man she really shouldnโt be falling for.
The clichรฉs are stacked against them:
-
๐ Older man, younger woman
-
๐งฌ Career powerhouse vs. struggling grad student
-
๐คซ Brotherโs best friend... and the girl he never noticed before
Conor insists their attraction is impossible โ the age gap and power imbalance are too much. Heโs made it clear: Maya should move on.
But when fate traps them together at a romantic Sicilian villa during her brotherโs chaotic wedding week, sparks ignite. Among ancient ruins, turquoise caves, and tables full of pasta and gelato ๐๐ท๐จ, Maya discovers Conor is hiding secrets of his own.
Soon, the simmering tension becomes irresistible. Maybe a summer fling is exactly what she needs โ even if itโs a Problematic Summer Romance.
