A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers queer romance (True Colors, 1)
by Annabeth Albert
They were never meant to get along. Now they might not want to let go.
Conventionally Yours is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers LGBTQIA romance with rivals forced into close quarters and the surprising intimacy that follows. When guarded, neurodiverse Alden and charming, chaotic Conrad hit the road for a high-stakes fan convention, sparks fly in ways neither expects.
With rich emotional tension, geek-culture heart, and characters readers call "awkward and sweet" and "unforgettably tender," this new adult romance delivers more than just delicious tropes and banter―it's about learning to be seen.
Perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue, get ready for a romance where forced proximity meets fierce connection, and two outsiders find their way home to each other.
"A well-crafted romance for fans of the smash hit Red, White & Royal Blue (2019)." ―Kirkus Reviews
"This captivating, nerdy romance delivers a satisfying happily ever after." ―Library Journal
"Conventionally Yours is a sweet, emotional, and uniquely quirky romance where first and even fifth impressions can be terribly wrong, and having only one bed can sometimes be the perfect opportunity to find out what they're missing." ―Carrie Ann Ryan, New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author
"Funny and wise! You will ship this couple well before they figure out how much they need each other." ―Sarina Bowen, USA Today Bestselling Author
