When you stumble literally into your first love at a beach town wedding a decade later, you're not expecting him to be a self-made billionaire—or for the chemistry between you to still be absolutely electric. Riley Dixon broke your heart the summer you turned eighteen, and now he's the best man while you're maid of honor, which means an entire week of unavoidable proximity, simmering tension, and late-night sneaking around. As the hate slowly transforms into something dangerously close to what you felt before, you start to realize that Riley might have been carrying secrets of his own all these years. This is the kind of second-chance romance that explores what happens when the person you thought you knew becomes someone entirely different—and somehow even more irresistible.
