Where the Rhythm Takes You by Sarah Dass

Reyna has spent most of her life at her family's seaside resort in Tobago, the Plumeria. It's been two years since Reyna's mother passed away, two years since Aiden- her childhood best friend, first kiss, first love, first everything- left the island to pursue his music dreams. Even Daddy seems to want to move on, leaving her to try to keep the Plumeria running. Aiden is now one-third of DJ Bacchanal, the latest, hottest music group on the scene. He comes back into Reyna's life as a VIP guest at the resort with his Grammy-nominated band-- and two gorgeous LA socialites. And he may (or may not be) dating one of them.
