暢銷羅曼史《Deep End》作者Ali Hazelwood新作
當錯誤的相遇,對上正確的感覺
瑪雅.科格爾今年23歲,處於仍在探索人生的階段。康納.哈肯斯已經38歲了,但瑪雅就是對他念念不忘。
這個情節簡直太老套了:年輕的女子遇見中年男人;還在苦苦掙扎的研究生和成功的生技專家;哥哥的好朋友和他從未注意到的女孩。正如同康納再三向瑪雅表明的,他們之間的關係實在不對等,要是展開一段戀情,在各方面都會出現問題。康納希望瑪雅能夠忘了他,畢竟他不想要瑪雅在身邊。
不過,事情並非都像表面上顯示的那樣,有時候老套劇情也可以成為轉折點。
當瑪雅的哥哥決定在義大利的陶爾米納舉行婚禮,瑪雅跟康納被迫在浪漫的別墅裡共處一個星期。在美麗的海岸、古老的文化遺址、和美食天堂的包圍下,瑪雅意識到康納可能對她隱瞞了一些事情。隨著婚禮的計畫逐漸崩壞,瑪雅決定放手一搏,展開這段夏日戀情,即便問題可能會接踵而來…(文/博客來外文館)
What is wrong meets what feels right in this romance set in Italy by the 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.
