The First Time (special edition) - Paperback

A brother's best friend, enemies to lovers, second chance romance.

When dedicated restaurant owner Layla Williams finally agrees to take a much-needed vacation, she's expecting a week of relaxation in the picturesque Italian mountainside with her best friend.

But when her friend cancels at the last minute, Layla's plans are thrown into disarray. To her dismay, her brother's infuriating best friend, Josh, is sent in her place.

Layla and Josh have a history-one that's more bitter than sweet.

Things go from bad to worse when they discover that their quaint Italian accommodations only have one bed.

Forced into close quarters, their mutual animosity seems to deepen. But amid Italy's romantic charm, from quaint vineyards to bustling markets, sparks begin to fly in a different way.

Will the enchanting beauty of Italy and their growing attraction they both have for each other lead them to discover a connection neither expected? Or will old grudges and fiery tempers ruin their chance at love?
