Parker Brown has built her dream wedding planning empire by orchestrating perfect days for everyone else, but when it comes to her own happily-ever-after, she's completely lost. Enter Malcolm Kavanaugh—a charming mechanic and friend-of-the-family who's been quietly rattling her composure with his passionate kisses and unexpected tenderness. As their flirtation threatens to become something real, Parker faces her biggest risk yet: trusting that her heart might just be worth the same careful attention she lavishes on her brides' special days. It's a delightful, swoon-worthy finale that proves sometimes the best love stories are the ones we never see coming.
