Chance Rivera doesn't exactly want to summer with her father's estranged family in Florida, but her mother has different ideas.
Living in their homes and working in the family restaurant, Chance discovers that her big Cuban family is loud, rambunctious, and incredibly loving. And beyond that, Chance is surprised to find pieces of herself and of the father she can't remember in everyone and everything around her.
Enjoying her family's company and the attentions of the talented, silver-eyed teenage cook Teagan, Chance is pleased to find that the summer is more eventful and far more fun than she'd hoped.
But when a terrible family secret surfaces and threatens to destroy everything, Chance must trust the love she's found in the Riveras and Teagan or surrender forever to the darkness of their pasts.
