Love Always, Nicaragua

Imani Hurston knows surf culture, event production, and what it means to fight for space in an industry that rarely makes room for Black women. When her dream project honoring Black surfing pioneer Nick Gabaldon is downsized, relocated to Nicaragua, and handed an impossible timeline, she arrives ready to prove everybody wrong.

Then she meets Thiago Reyes.

Surfer. Lodge owner. Proud Nicaraguan. And the frustratingly capable local partner who seems determined to show her there’s more to his country than beaches and perfect waves.

Between dawn surf sessions, volcanic landscapes, Caribbean Maypole celebrations, family dinners, and the chaos of building an international surf festival from the ground up, their professional partnership becomes something neither planned.

Nicaragua gets under Imani’s skin.

So does Thiago.

But falling in love on assignment is one thing. Building a life together when the assignment ends is another.

Love Always, Nicaragua is a sensual, joy-filled Black travel romance about legacy, belonging, partnership, and discovering that sometimes the life you never planned fits better than the one you did.
