From the author of Hearts Overboard comes a swoony, mystery-filled romance in which a girl on a school trip to Venice gets swept off her feet by a mask-wearing stranger... but does she know him already? Lose yourself in the masquerade—because sometimes, the greatest adventure begins when you unmask your heart.

People pleaser Evie Whitmore can't believe her art and architecture class trip has brought her to Venice—home of gondolas and crumbling palazzos, and the inspiration for both her art and her hidden passion, Elven Realms, a series of novels set in the very city she's about to explore.

Rumours about an underground Elven Realms fan club swirl, and Evie, wearing a costume and mask, sneaks out at night to find it. There's no way she can tell anyone what she's doing—not her friends, and certainly not Gabriel Martinez, the bad boy loner she's been partnered with on the trip.

But Evie's not the only one on this clandestine quest. She collides with someone else in disguise—a stranger whose eyes hold secrets. He calls himself Angelo, and he too loves the novels. Venice is a labyrinth, and as they unravel clues together, their connection deepens. Who is Angelo, really? And who does Evie want him to be?
