A small-town brother's best friend romance from the bestselling author of Flawless and Wild Love.   I kissed my best friend's little sister, and the world stood still. That night we were two perfect strangers, the town's grumpy recluse and a gorgeous girl in the back of a bar. Until we weren't. Because Nadia Dalca isn't just some girl, she's the girl I can't have. Fourteen years younger than me and completely off-limits.   My plan is to stay away, but the universe keeps pushing us together. It's like some sort of cosmic joke, to give me a taste of something so electric - so real - that breathed life back into me. Because I can look, but I can't touch. Her sinful curves, her light-hearted laughter, her wild side... I'm addicted to every last bit of her.   And when she turns those sultry eyes on me, so full of longing and free of judgement? I've always considered myself a strong man but, when she looks at me, I'm weak. To give in to our connection would be a betrayal. Her brother is the only family she has left and, sad as it sounds, he's also my only friend.   But I kissed her again anyway. And now I can't stop.

When Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017-revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that was "fresh, unpretentious and lean" (Madeline Miller, Washington Post)-critics lauded it as "a revelation" (Susan Chira, New York Times) and "a cultural landmark" (Charlotte Higgins, Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an equally revelatory translation of Homer's other great epic-the most revered war poem of all time.The Iliad roars with the clamor of arms, the bellowing boasts of victors, the fury and grief of loss, and the anguished cries of dying men. It sings, too, of the sublime magnitude of the world-the fierce beauty of nature and the gods' grand schemes beyond the ken of mortals. In Wilson's hands, this thrilling, magical, and often horrifying tale now gallops at a pace befitting its legendary battle scenes, in crisp but resonant language that evokes the poem's deep pathos and reveals palpably real, even "complicated," characters-both human and divine.The culmination of a decade of intense engagement with antiquity's most surpassingly beautiful and emotionally complex poetry, Wilson's Iliad now gives us a complete Homer for our generation.
