    Summary

    Harry Styles was a world-class marathon runner - until a car crash shattered his leg, his future, and any will to keep going.
    Louis is a physiotherapist working with elite footballers, and Gemma Styles’ last hope. She’s paying him well to move in with her brother for the off-season. It’s temporary. It’s clinical.
    Harry hates him. Louis isn’t thrilled either. But he’s not easily pushed away. He wasn’t prepared for the anger, the walls, or the grief - but he stays.
    And slowly, painfully, they stop being strangers. Then they stop being enemies and become something like friends. Or something else entirely.
    It’s slow. It’s brutal. It’s not what either of them expected.
    But maybe, just maybe, this time… Harry’s ready to run.

    Solo Per L'estate. (only for the summer) by

    Summary

    at twenty-eight, louis takes a summer nanny job for a wealthy london family, expecting poolside chaos and manageable tantrums.

    he doesn’t expect tuscany. or elizabeth and theo moore, who trust him more than he’s ready for. or their nineteen-year-old son.

    harry is supposed to be home from university for the summer. instead, he’s hiding the truth from his parents and bristling at everything he’s meant to become.

    looking after two children was in louis’ contract.
    spending seven weeks circling their bratty eldest wasn’t.

    under the heat of an italian summer, something slow and dangerous begins to unfurl — late-night conversations, lingering glances, tension neither of them knows how to handle.

    seven weeks was meant to be temporary.
    some things are only for the summer.

    OR louis, 28, signs up to nanny two chaotic kids in tuscany. harry, 19, is meant to be at uni — and absolutely not meant to be looking at the nanny like that.
