Shannon Wentworth runs a wedding photography business and wants a baby. Her biological clock won't wait for marriage, so she plans to find a sperm donor during a job in Mexico. Her plans derail when the bride disappears before the ceremony. Shannon gets stuck managing Victor Brooks, the abandoned groom who blames her for sabotaging his wedding. Victor came to Mexico expecting to marry a younger woman. Instead he faces hard truths about his life choices. Shannon helps him process the rejection, and their antagonism shifts into attraction. The tropical setting, tequila, and one powerful kiss change everything between them. They make a pact to wait three months after returning home to test whether their connection survives outside paradise. But the past intrudes on their careful timeline. Shannon discovers her heart matters more than her original baby plan, and both their futures hang in the balance.
