When Meg crashes a prestigious wedding to save her best friend from a terrible mistake, she becomes public enemy number one in a charming Texas town—and gets stuck there with a dead car, empty pockets, and the gorgeous groom himself, who's absolutely furious with her. Stripped of her famous family's safety net and forced to fend for herself, Meg discovers that surviving on wit alone is harder than she thought, especially when the one man she absolutely cannot lose her heart to is determined to make her life difficult. What unfolds is a hilarious, swoon-worthy battle of wills between two people who can't seem to stop thinking about each other, even when they're driving each other crazy. If you love witty banter, laugh-out-loud moments, and a slow-burn romance that sneaks up on you, this one's an absolute gem.
