Falling for him was never part of the plan...

Lia Mercato has everything under control: her career as an artist, her social media following, and especially her maid of honor duties for the wedding of her two best friends, Andy and Sophie. The one thing she can't control? The best man.

Owen Walsh is everything Lia hates: a sellout corporate lawyer with an infuriatingly gorgeous, know-it-all smirk. But it isn’t only that. He always seems to be letting Andy down, and Lia has no time for anyone who fails the people she loves – however gorgeous he might be.

But as they’re forced together preparing for this wedding, Lia starts to see there might be more beneath the surface of Owen’s immaculate suits. And there might be a very good reason he’s flitted in and out of Andy’s life for years. Lia knows about secrets after all, and the scars they leave behind.

As their worlds collide, the harder it is to ignore their growing attraction to each other... until they can’t anymore. It’s only a fling Lia tells herself. But when someone from Lia's past reappears, Lia and Owen must face the truth: could they possibly be falling in love?

But will they be able to escape the scars of their past? Or will this romance be just another happily-never-after?

A steamy, cozy enemies-to-lovers forced proximity romance perfect for fans of B.K. Borison, Lucy Score, and Ali Hazelwood.
