Description
A heartfelt, humorous sapphic romance about a woman navigating family drama amidst her cousin’s weeklong wedding–where she’s reunited with a childhood rival-turned-ally who could be so much more.
Isabella Valdes knows three things for certain:
– Her late father’s Cuban restaurant is thriving.
– She owns lots of designer things.
– Both of those statements are absolute lies to make her mother happy.
Isabella would do anything to keep her father’s legacy alive, including attending her estranged cousin’s weeklong wedding extravaganza. Once Sofia’s wealthy fiancé tastes the recipes Isa prepares from her father’s cherished journal, he’s sure to invest.
To Isa’s annoyance, she’ll be sharing a cabin with Valentina, the former friend turned rival who ruined her quinceañera. But Val is offering an unexpected deal–she’ll help Isa unravel an old family secret in return for help sabotaging the wedding and winning the heart of the bride.
Saying yes is a bad idea. But Isa’s perfectionism meets its match in Val’s carefree demeanor. There’s no hiding from Val, no ignoring this complicated but undeniable connection that’s changing Isa’s beliefs about love, loyalty and just how much she owes to her family–and to herself…
