<\/a><\/p>\nVolunteering in New Orleans was supposed to be a change, an escape from the total mess Julie left at home and from her brother\u2019s losing battle with PTSD. But building houses surrounded by her super-clingy team leader and her way-too-chipper companions has Julie feeling more trapped than ever. And she\u2019s had enough.<\/p>\n
In a moment of daring, Julie runs away, straight into the glitter, costumes, and chaos of the Mid-Summer Mardi Gras parade\u2014and instantly connects with Miles, an utterly irresistible musician with a captivating smile and a complicated story of his own. And for once, Julie isn\u2019t looking back. Together Julie and Miles decide to forget their problems and live this one night in the here and now.

But when a Category Two hurricane changes course and heads straight for NOLA, their adventure takes an unexpected turn. And, suddenly, pretending everything is fine is no longer an option.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
