No one works harder than Lauren Landau. She's fought hard for her success as the editor-in-chief of Ruston's local newspaper, despite every man she's ever dated trying to push her into a supporting role. Now forty, single, and happy, she couldn't care less if her personal life is a little lacking.

Meanwhile, Max Beaumont-or Beau Baxter to his adoring radio listeners-thrives on the airwaves and oozes cool guy charm. While his witty radio banter keeps the people of Ruston entertained, you'd never guess his biggest critic is his dad, who never stopped pushing him to settle down with a serious job in the family business and well-connected wife.

What starts as a missed connection over the last king cake continues with this unlikely duo serving as king and queen of their town's first-ever Mardi Gras krewe and parade!

As the whirlwind of the Mardi Gras season sweeps Lauren and Max away, will they double down on their old comforts or finally learn how to let the good times roll?

Dive into the vibrant joy of the Mardi Gras season in Louisiana with this chaotically fun and hilarious, romantic romp from acclaimed author Jessica Booth.
