What is wrong meets what feels right in this romance set in Italy by the Sunday Times and New
York Times bestselling author of Deep End. Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the
process of figuring out her life. Conor Harkness is thirty-eight and Maya cannot stop
thinking about him. It's such a cliché it almost makes her heart implode: older man and
younger woman successful biotech guy and struggling grad student brother's best friend and
the girl he never even knew existed. As Conor loves to remind her the power dynamic is too
imbalanced. Any relationship between them would be problematic in too many ways to count and
Maya should just get over him. After all he has made it clear that he wants her gone from his
life. But not everything is as it seems - and clichés sometimes become plot twists. When
Maya's brother decides to get married in Taormina she and Conor end up stuck together in a
romantic Sicilian villa for over a week. There on the beautiful Ionian coast between ancient
ruins delicious foods and natural caves Maya realizes that Conor might be hiding something
from her. And as the destination wedding begins to erupt out of control she decides that a
summer fling might be just what she needs - even if it's a problematic one. It's officially
Problematic Summer - and readers can't get enough: 'Ali Hazelwood's books do it for me EVERY
