Problematic Summer Romance
by Ali Hazelwood
Maya Killgore is 23 and still in the process of figuring out her life. Conor Harkness is 38, 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.
