One little mix-up. That's all it took...

Marnie Fairchild is the brains and talent behind Wish & Co, a boutique store that offers a bespoke gift-buying service to wealthy clients with complicated lives. Brian Charlesworth is Marnie's most prized customer, and today she's wrapping the perfect anniversary gift for his wife, Suzanne... and a birthday present for his mistress, Leona. What could possibly go wrong?

For years, Marnie's had her heart set on moving Wish & Co to the historic shopfront once owned by her grandfather. When the chance to bid for the property unexpectedly arises, Marnie—distracted—makes an uncharacteristic mistake.

Soon Brian is in a fight to rescue his marriage, and Marnie is scrabbling to keep her dreams alive. With so much at stake, the last thing Marnie needs is to fall for Brian and Suzanne's son...
