Sparks fly in this second chance m/m rom com when an unlucky-in-love event manager realizes the man-of-honor at the high profile wedding he's planning is the same man who broke his heart.
They say you never forget your first kiss. But Jordan Carter wishes he could forget the one he shared with Jamie Peters as teens. And the one they almost shared again last year before Jamie made it clear he wasn't the "right" man for Jordan to be with while he's figuring himself out.
Now, Jordan's fully focused on his career at 24 Carter Gold, his family's event planning company, and ready to move on - until his boss assigns him to plan a new client's high-profile wedding. The bride's man-of-honor? None other than Jamie.
As things ramp up the closer they get to the wedding, so does Jordan's relationship with Jamie, with sarcastic asides turning into steamy hook-ups. But can Jordan afford to pursue Jamie if he's still unsure who he is? Or is knowing who he loves enough? Venue shopping, cake-tastings, and dress fittings with the man he can't forget just might change the man Jordan Carter is meant to become.
