One of Entertainment Weekly's "Hot Stuff: 5 spring 2025 romance novels celebrate chasing one's bliss"

Trinidad Velasquez plays by the rules. Now she has one chance--one sizzlin' Carnival weekend--to leave it all behind.

Go on, get spicy...

For the last sixteen years, Trinidad Velasquez has done everything right. Raised her twin sons on her own, worked her butt off and created a stable life. But Trinidad is done waiting for a happy ending to show up at her door, and when her current boyfriend proposes, she can't help but wonder if, at her age, love should be practical, not butterflies and heart-racing chemistry.

But then her teenage sons trick her into a Caribbean Carnival vacation. And she finds herself staying with the one guy who's always revved her engine...even if he's a decade south of her dating range.

Orlando Wiggins has never been able to take his eyes off Ms. V. He's mentored her boys for two years, and she's never suggested there could be more. But at Carnival, between the sensual dancing, heated looks and electric touches, whatever he's been feeling for her is definitely reciprocated.

Now Trinidad is having the time of her life. Every cell in her body is charged, alive. But will this new version of who she's become stick around for the return to real life?

From showing up to glowing up, the characters in Afterglow Books are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way. Don't miss any of these other fun titles...
