"I feel on a fundamental level this genre has the power to show people whether or not they are worthy of being loved," novelist Alyssa Cole told in April.
And if there's a year where we especially needed that and then some, it was 2020. Why? Because romance g uarantees a happy ending-an escape. But when something threatens the future that’s within their grasp, Elias and Desta must put it all on the line for love.As any dedicated romance novel reader will tell you, it's the one genre that's there for you in the best of times (to make your day 10 times better) and the worst (to bring a little love into any sour situation). Rediscovering his country through Desta’s eyes emboldens Elias to reach for a future where he can be open about every part of himself. Meeting Desta, the Dominican-American emergency relief worker with the easy smile and sad eyes, makes Elias want things he’s never envisioned for himself. He'd be a fool not to accept the chance to pursue his doctoral studies in the U.S., but saying yes means leaving his homeland, and Elias isn't ready to make that commitment. Except, of course, for the life-changing one, he’s stubbornly ignored for the past nine months. Elias Fikru has never met an opportunity he hasn’t seized.
What Desta never expected was to catch a glimpse of his future as he reconnects with the beautiful country and his family’s past. When an unavoidable work obligation lands him there for twelve weeks, he may finally have a chance for the closure he so desperately needs. For Desta, the East African capital encompasses some of the happiest and saddest parts of his life-his first home and the place where his father died. As his twenty-sixth birthday approaches, Desta Joy Walker finds himself in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the one place he's been actively avoiding most of his life.
