It Began with a Man in a Wedding

Melody meets Gabe at a liquor store and he asks her to be his plus one at a friend's wedding. 

Melody makes it a practice not to attend weddings with men she's never seen before, even gorgeous ones with almost irresistible curly locks, and declines the offer. Gabe accepts defeat with dignity, knowing he will incur the wrath of the bridezilla because he'd promised to appear with a date.

When Gabe slips into the church after the start of the wedding, he thinks the stars must have aligned, because there in the bench beside him is none other than the woman from the liquor store.

Melody is astonished to see the curly-haired one himself sitting with her, and when the bride and groom's unusual New Year's Eve request is announced, she finds herself sharing a kiss with him. A kiss that weakens her knees and leaves her gasping for air. And another kiss. Which is just one more reason to get out of that church before anyone sees her.

Gabe watches the mystery woman leave without a word, but he knows he'll see her at the reception. He will have his plus one.

Except he doesn't see her at the reception. He doesn't have his plus one.

How does a man find a woman when he knows nothing about her, other than the certainty he must find her?
