Free spirit Piper Callahan left her hometown the second she could, armed with a one-way ticket to anywhere-but-there, a healthy fear of small-town gossip, and a commitment to never looking back. Ten years later, she’s forced to return to Misty Pines for the one thing she can’t avoid . . . her childhood best friend’s wedding. As maid of honor, Piper’s plan is simple: get in, watch her friend get married, and get out before people start asking why she never comes home anymore. It’s a solid plan. Right up until Briggs walks in.

Her besties’ older brother. The first guy she had a teenage crush on. And judging by the double take he does when he sees her for the first time in years, the guy who might not remember Piper as the weird girl she used to be. Which would be fine, if Briggs hadn’t changed too. Gone is the easygoing golden boy Piper remembers. In his place? A grumpy, brooding brute who has no business looking so good swinging a hammer like a personal attack while building his sister’s dream wedding arch.

And somehow, he’s always exactly where Piper is, whether she’s dealing with wedding disasters, refereeing family drama that could rival reality TV, or hiding an unwelcome ex who drops in unexpectedly. Briggs just quietly helps her handle it all, picking up the pieces she inevitably leaves in her wake.

As the week spirals from chaotic to completely unhinged, Piper finds herself laughing more than she has in years and questioning everything she thought she’d left behind. Because Misty Pines might still be a mess, but with Briggs at her side, it’s starting to feel dangerously like home again. Now, Piper has to decide: stick with her exit plan and run—or risk her heart on the one place (and man) she swore she’d never choose.
