"Returning home to act as maid of honor for her best-friend-forever Maggie, Rose is stunned when she discovers that Maggie's husband-to-be is a man with whom she had a one-night stand and, as the big day approaches, must make one of biggest decisions of her life"--

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

One week, two friends, secrets revealed, and a wedding gone wrong. With the drama of Colleen Hoover, the romantic tension of Lori Foster, and the page-turning power of Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Ryan returns in this deliciously unforgettable novel.

Sometimes weddings bring the worst surprises... Growing up, Rose fled her family homeβ€”and a dangerous fatherβ€”vowing never to return. But Rose is back in Carmel, California, with two goals: to joyfully act as maid of honour for her best-friend-forever Maggie and to reunite and rebuild her relationships with her mother and sister. And she can’t wait to finally meet the groom-to-be.

But when Maggie excitedly introduces her to Marc, Rose is horrified. He’s the man Rose spent one lust-fuelled but disastrous night with a year ago. Rose and Maggie have shared every secret... but Rose isn’t sure she can reveal this one. To complicate the situation, Rose makes an instant connection with Gray, Marc’s best man and cousin.

As the big day approaches, the secret weighs heavy upon Rose. It was a whirlwind courtship, but Maggie seems so sure she’s found the one she wants. Now Rose faces the biggest dilemma of her life: Should she tell Maggie and Gray the truth and risk losing them? What if it’s best to leave things alone? Then again, what if her friend is making the biggest mistake of her life?
