Renee Grothen coordinates weddings in Happily Inc but believes marriage isn't for her. She lives by a simple rule: those who can marry do, and those who can't plan the weddings. Then thriller writer Jasper Dembenski enters her world. He's gorgeous, talented, and proposes something unexpected: a fling with no strings attached. The chemistry between them proves impossible to ignore. Jasper carries damage from his military years and considers himself unfit for serious relationships. A casual affair with the fiery, determined wedding planner seems perfect until something shifts. Renee becomes more than a distraction. She inspires his writing and awakens feelings he thought were dead. Renee has built a career solving other people's romantic crises, but now she faces her own. As their connection deepens beyond the physical, she must decide whether to risk everything on the one thing she swore she'd never want.
