Opposites ignite in this sizzling, heartfelt, and irresistibly fun reverse age-gap romance from USA Today bestselling author Leslie Pike.
Luca Dragoni has always been larger than life—charming, confident, and a little too sure of himself. Back in high school, he was the dreamer with his head in the clouds, hopelessly infatuated with Caroline Watson, the poised and untouchable queen of his teenage fantasies. Two years older and worlds apart, she was everything he wasn’t: grounded, serious, and achingly out of reach.
A decade later, fate brings them together again—this time in the sun-drenched streets of Rome. Luca is no longer the boy she once knew; he’s a man who lives life unapologetically, chasing freedom, passion, and every thrill that comes his way.
Caroline, now a woman shaped by life’s hardships, is still the loyal, kind soul he remembers, but her feet are firmly planted on the ground, and her heart is guarded because of the scars from her past.
When their worlds collide, sparks fly. Luca’s carefree spirit clashes with Caroline’s practicality, but the magnetic pull between them is electric. He’s determined to show her that life is more than just survival, while she challenges him to grow up and find purpose.
