Problematic Summer Romance

Maya Killgore, twenty-three and still finding her way, finds herself drawn to Conor Harkness, thirty-eight. The situation is a classic cliché: an older, successful biotech guy and a struggling grad student; the brother's best friend and the girl he barely noticed. Conor is quick to point out the significant power imbalance and the many reasons a relationship between them is problematic, urging Maya to move on. He's made it clear he wants her out of his life.

But as Maya's brother's wedding approaches in Taormina, Sicily, Maya and Conor find themselves unexpectedly sharing a villa. Amidst the beauty of the Ionian coast, ancient ruins, and delicious food, Maya begins to suspect Conor is hiding secrets. As the destination wedding descends into chaos, Maya realizes a summer fling, however problematic, might be exactly what she needs.

This New York Times bestselling novel explores the complexities of desire when 'what is wrong' meets 'what feels right'. It's a story that proves clichés can sometimes lead to unexpected plot twists, offering a compelling narrative for fans of age gap, Enemies To Lovers, and Forbidden Love themes.
