Part of The Wedding Date, book 1
First published 2018
Alexa Monroe gets trapped in an elevator with Drew Nichols, a pediatric surgeon who needs a wedding date. She normally wouldn't agree to attend a stranger's ex-girlfriend's wedding, but Drew proves hard to refuse. He needs a fake girlfriend for the weekend festivities. She becomes his perfect plus-one solution during the power outage. Their pretend relationship turns into genuine fun neither expected. Drew must return to his surgical practice in Los Angeles while Alexa goes back to her role as chief of staff to Berkeley's mayor. The distance between their cities becomes the least of their problems. Both high-powered professionals discover they can't stop thinking about each other. Their weekend of pretending created something real, but their demanding careers and separate lives threaten any future together. They face a choice between the safe professional paths they've built and the unexpected connection that started in a broken elevator.
