Problematic Summer Romance By Ali Hazelwood

A SICILIAN ESCAPE WHERE CLICHÉS BECOME PLOT TWISTS.

From the bestselling author of Deep End and The Love Hypothesis comes a scorching, emotional, and delightfully messy summer romance. At twenty-three, Maya Killgore is still navigating the uncertainties of life, while thirty-eight-year-old Conor Harkness—successful, complex, and her brother's best friend—seems like the forbidden fruit she should avoid at all costs.

Conor constantly reminds Maya that their power dynamic is far too imbalanced, and for a long time, he has made it clear he wants her nowhere near his life. But when Maya’s brother ties the knot in the breathtaking coastal town of Taormina, Italy, they are forced into close quarters at a romantic Sicilian villa. Surrounded by ancient ruins, stunning coastlines, and a destination wedding that is quickly spiraling into chaos, the lines between "problematic" and "perfect" begin to blur. Maya soon realizes that Conor is hiding secrets, and she decides that a summer fling might be the only way to get the answers she craves.

Why this book is a must-have:

• Irresistible Trope: A masterfully written "brother’s best friend" and "age gap" romance that subverts expectations at every turn.

• Stunning Setting: Transport yourself to the sun-drenched Ionian coast of Sicily, filled with vivid descriptions and romantic tension.
