Ancient History Between Us by Kaitlyn Hill

Three years since they last saw each other. Two months to untangle their complicated past. One unforgettable Italian summer.

Childhood best friends Cammie Lovett and West Jacobs haven’t spoken since their first kiss ended in disaster. Now, after getting rejected from her dream field school, Cammie is joining her renowned archaeologist mom in Italy for the summer—while secretly planning to find her biological father. Meanwhile, West is avoiding a major life decision by—what else?—crashing his dad’s work trip abroad.

When the two find themselves at the same Italian villa, their plan to avoid each other crumbles like a Roman ruin. Armed with her mom’s old journal, Cammie is determined to stay focused—until West discovers her mission and insists on tagging along. As their second-chance adventure takes them down the Southern Italian coast and through the messy details of their past, Cammie and West begin to realize that maybe—just maybe—their own history isn’t quite as ancient as they thought.
