📖☀️ Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood
❤️🔥 What feels wrong can sometimes feel oh-so-right... especially under the Sicilian sun.
🌟 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 Italy’s Ionian coast.
👩🎓 Maya Killgore, 23, is still figuring out life, love, and her place in the world.
💼 Conor Harkness, 38, is her brother’s best friend, a successful biotech executive, and the man she really shouldn’t be falling for.
The clichés are stacked against them:
-
💔 Older man, younger woman
-
🧬 Career powerhouse vs. struggling grad student
-
🤫 Brother’s best friend... and the girl he never noticed before
Conor insists their attraction is impossible — the age gap and power imbalance are too much. He’s made it clear: Maya should move on.
But when fate traps them together at a romantic Sicilian villa during her brother’s chaotic wedding week, sparks ignite. Among ancient ruins, turquoise caves, and tables full of pasta and gelato 🍝🍷🍨, Maya discovers Conor is hiding secrets of his own.
Soon, the simmering tension becomes irresistible. Maybe a summer fling is exactly what she needs — even if it’s a Problematic Summer Romance.
