My Italian Love Affair by Melissa Jane

When my boss shipped me off to Rome for three months to cover football – a sport I know next to nothing about – I thought it was going to be a disaster.

And then I met Matteo Rossi.
Smug, arrogant, and so infuriatingly full of himself, Matteo is the very definition of a walking ego.
Unfortunately for me, he’s also maddeningly gorgeous and the star player everyone’s obsessed with.
I should’ve brushed off his irritating smirks and infuriating one-liners, but the media caught onto our on-camera tension, and suddenly, the world is obsessed with the so-called ‘banter’ between us – apparently oblivious to the fact that we honest-to-god cannot stand each other.
Now, my boss wants me to work with Matteo more often to boost views, Matteo is loving every second of my discomfort, and I’m stuck spending way more time with a man who pushes all my buttons…for better or worse.
But the more I get to know him, the more I wonder: is Matteo really the insufferable asshole I pegged him as, or have I been too quick to judge?
The lines between rivalry and something far more dangerous are blurring fast.
And when it comes to Matteo Rossi…losing might just mean falling.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Rome, My Italian Love Affair is a sizzling enemies-to-lovers sports romance that blends fiery banter with irresistible chemistry. Daphne and Matteo’s story crackles with tension as they navigate their differences and find themselves in a forced proximity situation neither of them asked for.

Perfect for readers who love sharp wit, sizzling chemistry, and heartfelt emotional moments, this novel delivers detailed, steamy scenes alongside sweet and tender interactions. With laugh-out-loud humour, authentic sports journalism insights and the breathtaking charm of Italy as its backdrop, My Italian Love Affair is a must-read for fans of hate-to-love dynamics and unforgettable love stories.
