Two households, both alike in lacking any dignity or self-restraint ...
As a member of the Stamou family, Ana Merrick, fourth grade teacher, dreads summers on the Greek island of Nera and the inevitable torrent of insults and rotten vegetables hurled across the wall separating the Stamous from their mortal enemies, the Roussos family. The only thing more irritating than the relentless bickering-and flying food-is having to spend time in close proximity to Thanos Roussos, the man who once used her sports bra as a slingshot. Ana's most prominent childhood memories all involve Thanos and the pranks they used to inflict upon each other.
Unfortunately, this summer won't give Ana the option of keeping her distance from her alarmingly attractive nemesis.
When Ana's interfering family volunteers her for what appears to be the perfect summer job-teaching English to summer school students-what they don't realize is that it's a two-person project. And here is Thanos Roussos, middle school PE teacher, conveniently ready and able to swoop in and wrangle teenagers alongside Ana. They'll be breathing the same air. Inhaling the same eye-watering BO and cologne. Begging their students to put down their phones with the same exasperated tone. And they'll have do it while fighting their natural urge to strangle each other, figuratively speaking.
The only solution is a secret and temporary truce, in a place where a secret is no secret at all.
Complicating matters, Ana is alarmed to discover that her time in the classroom, teaching alongside her sworn enemy, is fast becoming the most fun she's ever had in Greece. And yet hanging over her head is the possibility that their forbidden attraction might be nothing more than another one of Thanos's pranks.
