Carnival Fever by Carly Keene

MAREN:
I’m so sick of the daily grind.
Teaching basic English composition classes to non-English-major students at a university for the past five years has gotten darn boring.
Frankly, my whole life has gotten darn boring.
I want to shake it up.
So when the head of my academic department decides to send me to Malta for a multi-disciplinary conference over spring break — Carnival — I seize my chance.
I see new places, eat new food, and discover a whole new me.
And then I meet handsome, mysterious Alessio, dark eyes brilliant behind his red mask.
He sweeps me off my feet and romances me in three different languages, giving me chills and fever in the best possible way, and making me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.
But Carnival only lasts a week.
