Mac has built a thriving wedding photography business with her three best friends, capturing perfect love stories for everyone else—but her own life is messy and complicated. When she literally crashes into Carter Maguire, the stable, genuinely good guy who teaches at their old high school, she figures a no-strings fling is exactly what she needs to escape her demanding mother and bridezilla clients. What starts as a way to distract herself quickly becomes something neither of them saw coming, as Carter shows Mac what it feels like to be truly seen and valued. With her best friends cheering her on every step of the way, Mac discovers that sometimes the person who's right for you has been in your life all along—you just needed the right moment to notice.
