'Extraordinary... a raw, vulnerable, breath-stealing love you can feel as you read' Emily Henry

'Dazzling, tender, and romantic' Carley Fortune

We've always been best friends... but what if we were more?

Laniah and Isaac have been best friends since childhood, and they couldn't be more different. She's a homebody who runs a small natural hair store with her mum. He's an international influencer with the paparazzi on his tail.

When Isaac comes home for the first time in months and discovers Laniah and her mum are struggling to keep their business afloat, she refuses to take a dime from him. And so, he does what any self-respecting best friend would do: tells the world they're dating.

Suddenly business is booming, and Laniah reluctantly agrees to pretend to be lovers for the course of the summer. Just long enough to catch the eye of an investor and get her dream back on track.

But as the lines between what's real and pretend blur, it becomes harder and harder to see where friendship ends and something else begins....

Brimming with chemistry, A Love Like the Sun is the perfect slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance about falling in love and second chances. Perfect for fans of Tia Williams and Emily Henry.
