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. 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. When an unavoidable work obligation lands him there for twelve weeks, he may finally have a chance for the closure he so desperately needs. What Desta never expected was to catch a glimpse of his future as he reconnects with the beautiful country and his family's past. Elias Fikru has never left his home country. A structural engineer who works to preserve historically significant buildings in Addis, Elias has dedicated his life to restoring what time has taken from his people. He isn't looking for love—but when a gorgeous American who speaks flawless Amharic stumbles into his orbit, he can't help but be intrigued.
