Description


From the author of Where the Rhythm Takes You comes a delightful enemies-to-lovers, contemporary romance set during Trinidads Carnival celebration.

There are two things Tess Crawford knows for sure:

  • Shes destined to be a great Trinidadian Carnival costume designer like her renowned uncle, Russel Messina, and will one day inherit leadership of the familys masquerade band, Grandeur.
  • Her classmate, the popular social media influencer, Brandon Richards, is the bane of her existence. Everything about him irks her, from his annoying nickname for Tess (Boop) to his association with David, her awful ex.

But when the future of Grandeur nears the brink of collapse in the face of band rivalry, Tess finds to her chagrin that she must team up with Brandon in a desperate attempt to revive the company.

As Tess and Brandon spend more time together, Tess begins to wonder if everything she thought she knew might not be so certain after all....

Set in lush, gorgeous Trinidad, this is a novel about finding love in the most unexpected places.
