Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out
her life.
Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him.
It's such a cliché, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and
younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student;
brother's best friend and the girl he never even knew existed. As Conor
loves to remind her, the power dynamic is too imbalanced. Any
relationship between them would be problematic in too many ways to
count, and Maya should just get over him. After all, he has made it
clear that he wants her gone from his life.
But not everything is as it seems - and clichés sometimes become plot
twists.
When Maya's brother decides to get married in Taormina, she and Conor
end up stuck together in a romantic Sicilian villa for over a week.
There, on the beautiful Ionian coast, between ancient ruins, delicious
foods, and natural caves, Maya realizes that Conor might be hiding
something from her. And as the destination wedding begins to erupt out
of control, she decides that a summer fling might be just what she
needs - even if it's a problematic one.

This title features 20 projects to reinvent phonecases, mirrors,
sunglasses and more, in the fashionable Decoden style. One of the
first books on this hot emerging trend which is sweeping the
internet. It is suitable for children aged 10+. Yet another
fabulous trend influenced by our friends in Japan (and elsewhere,
by now), decoden or dekoden is for all of us who are part magpie,
in the sense that we dive for anything that glitters. The term
"deco" is shorthand for "decorated" and "den" is short for denwa,
"phone" in Japanese. But these fancy facades don't stop at just
phones. The deco craze has swept portable gaming systems, e-readers
and even fingernails. The Decoden look is over-the-top sparkle and
embellishment, and the aim is to be as decadent as possible.
Electronic devices are pretty nondescript on the outside for the
most part, so decoden-covered cases serve the dual purpose of
protection and self-expression.

ontdek en verken. Laat die kreatiewe reis jou inspireer en jou hart
en gedagtes na wonderlike, nuwe plekke meevoer.”
