'If My Big Fat Greek Wedding and The Hating Game had a baby, it would be Bad Boy Summer' JULIA BOGGIO

'I consumed it in one sitting. The voice was so bright and clear, the romance was exactly my catnip. I loved every minute of it!' CHRISTINA LAUREN

'The banter, the sparks, the slow-burn build-up…it’s everything you want in an enemies-to-lovers romance' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Hot! Hot! Hot! I LOVED it!' HEIDI SWAIN

Couple’s therapist Nella Praxitelis knows all about love – in theory.

In practice? Not so much. Especially after discovering her boyfriend’s been cheating… just hours before he planned to propose.

With her life in tatters, Nella moves back in with her Greek family, only for her little sister to announce she’s getting married… in three weeks. And the best man? Mark Marino, the OG bad boy – tall, brooding, and the older brother of Nella’s late first love. Also, he kinda hates her, but it’s okay because the feeling’s mutual.

As maid of honour, Nella is forced to team up with Mark for dance lessons, formal dinners, and a chaotic stag-and-hen trip to Cyprus. But underneath the barbs, undeniable chemistry simmers, pushing Nella to confront a choice: risk her heart again or stick to dealing with other people’s love lives.

Perfect for fans of:
