Essie Lovelock is a reformed fairytale fanatic with a singular mission: be the best maid of honor her best friend has ever had. There is only one obstacle standing in her way, and his name is Nate Stiles. As the best man, Nate is the definition of serious, sporting a permanent frown and a "rain cloud" personality that clashes perfectly with Essie’s vibrant energy. The problem? Six years ago, they shared a single, unforgettable kiss before he ghosted her, leaving behind a trail of unresolved tension that refuses to fade. Now, forced together to plan every wedding event imaginable, the two are trapped in a high-stakes game of proximity and banter. Whether they are navigating awkward salsa lessons or managing bridal checklists, the chemistry between them is impossible to ignore. Essie is determined to hold her ground against a man who claims he doesn’t believe in love, but Nate is proving to be much harder to resist than she anticipated. Featuring a classic grumpy/sunshine dynamic and a second-chance romance trope, this story is a witty, spicy, and heartfelt journey. As the past collides with the present, Essie and Nate must decide if their history is worth a second act.
