وصف الناشر
Harkening to the witty and swoon-worthy rom-coms of Christina Lauren and Kate Clayborn, a new enemies-to-lovers romp whisking us from the stress of city life to lush Caribbean beaches.
Sasha Rubinstein is not on her game. Parenting with an absent (and objectively douchey) ex has never been easy, but, lately, the judgmental side-eye from people at school pick-up feels extra. It doesn’t help that some entitled dad—with his perfect t-shirts and perfectly punchable (yet adorable) face—keeps stealing the last after-school spots and school hoodies out from under her.
Ethan Jones is not trying to trip Sasha up… at school or otherwise. In fact, ever since they met (which she promptly forgot), he’s been hoping for the exact opposite…or at least to stop thinking about her.
When a game-changing job lands them trapped together on an exclusive private island, they resolve to stop sniping at each other and keep things professional. But with tension building between them and the permeating intoxication of island time, temptation blows in on every tropical breeze.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dahlia debuts with a pitch-perfect rom-com that finds divorced Brooklynite Sasha Rubinstein struggling to balance her career as a freelance video producer with caring for her two children. This is made harder by frequent altercations at school pickup with the man she's nicknamed Demon Dad after he snapped up Sasha's daughter's after-school drama slot for his own child. Ethan Jones, a divorced father and editor-in-chief of Escapade magazine, really isn't trying to make Sasha's life more complicated; in fact, he's wildly attracted to her. When Sasha is contacted by Escapade to produce video content on the exclusive Caribbean island of Citrine Cay, she's ecstatic—until she realizes Ethan will be coming along. Working together, their walls soon come down, and their blistering chemistry draws them together. But their steamy vacation fling may not hold up in the real world—especially as after-school politics heat up and a fellow mom works to sabotage their relationship. Dahlia leads readers on a delightful journey, replete with snappy prose, appealing characters, and wit. Fans of enemies-to-lovers rom-coms won't be able to resist.

Stalker
Umm is this a book about a stalker? The third narrator gave Joe G vibes. I had to quit.
