Seven Summers Later by Laila Rafi (Paperback)

One dream detour. Two broken hearts. Could this be their second chance at love?

Safiya Saeed's life was mapped out for her, except her one carefree gap year in Rome, but the rest was never what she wanted! Now, on the cusp of a divorce, she impulsively gets on a flight to Italy instead of heading home...

Murad Aziz doesn't believe in second chances. Yet when he sees Safiya for the first time in years, he can't keep his eyes off her. So, his layover quickly turns into a holiday, and he wonders if she could ever give him a second chance!

Except Safiya is looking for a fresh start, not to rekindle an old love affair. She is mending friendships, working odd jobs, and ignoring phone calls from her parents.

As Murad helps Safiya pursue her forgotten dreams, old feelings begin to resurface. And Safiya finds herself wondering if she could let him away again...
