If you loved From Lukov with Love - the sensational TikTok hit captivating readers all over the world - then you don't want to miss any of Mariana Zapata's unique romances! No one writes slow burn like Mariana Zapata, and her millions of fans agree! Plot Summary: Twenty-six-year-old Gaby Barreto is many things—loyal, sarcastic, one of the guys, and a self-admitted pain in the butt—but she is far from dumb. Facing a monotonous life in Dallas, with no job prospects and an ex-boyfriend she still fantasises about castrating, Gaby decides to take up her twin brother's offer to join his tour as his band's merch girl. With no end in sight to her unemployed state and eager for an escape from her parents' house, she embarks on a whirlwind journey. She finds herself amidst two bands, travelling across three continents, and spending ninety-plus days with her brother, three lovable idiots, and eight strangers. Her life turns vibrant and suspenseful as she navigates the chaos of tour life. The adventure takes an interesting turn when Gaby meets Sacha Malykhin, the enigmatic lead singer of the headlining band. With his tattoos, charming personality, fantastic physique, and an irresistibly humorous nature, Gaby finds herself increasingly drawn to him. But with so much going on, the dynamics of tour life, and the unravelling of emotions, will Gaby be able to resist the lure of Sacha? Through a journey of laughter, sarcasm, and heartfelt moments, Gaby discovers that perhaps, just maybe, she never stood a chance against Sacha Malykhin. Reader Reviews:
