Avery Sinclair is a perfectionist wedding planner who lives by schedules, backup plans, and rules—especially the one that says never mix business with pleasure. When a celebrity client’s vineyard wedding implodes, Avery’s carefully curated world crumbles with it. The bride runs off. The press is circling. And the only person who seems to be enjoying the chaos? Jack Monroe—the aggravatingly handsome best man who lives out of a suitcase and has a comeback for everything.

Jack doesn’t believe in forever. He’s seen too many promises fall apart, too many fairy tales turn into cautionary tales. But when he sees Avery trying to salvage a disaster with nothing but grit and grace, he offers a ridiculous solution: fake a wedding with him instead.

One night. One dance. One wild vow.

But what starts as a joke turns electric fast. And when a pretend moment in the spotlight leads to something real behind closed doors, neither of them can walk away unchanged. She's rooted. He runs. She's built walls. He tears through them with a smile. They're opposites in every way… except when it matters.

Now, with reputations, fears, and hearts on the line, they’ll have to decide—

Was it just one night under the lights, or the beginning of something they never dared to plan?

Would you risk everything for a love that wasn’t supposed to happen?
