Publisher Description
From #1 New York Times bestseller Vi Keeland comes a brand-new slow-burn romance about a recovering jilted bride and her boss’s heartthrob son who get thrown together on the ultimate wedding assignment.
After getting ditched at the altar, every “I do” makes me want to scream.
Which is a problem, considering I’m an associate editor at Bride magazine.
Just when I thought my job couldn’t get any worse, I got roped into being a last-minute bridesmaid... and paired with Wilder Hayes.
Gorgeous, smug, and maddening. Cue the bickering, the sparks, and one very unexpected coat closet moment.
Not my finest hour… or was it? Because that kiss? Easily the hottest thing I’ve ever experienced.
At least I’ll never have to see him again.
Until Monday rolls around, and—surprise!—he’s my boss’s son and my new work shadow for the season.
It's a match made in heaven...or hell. Only time will tell.
