From the author of the best-selling The Wedding Caper and Late to the Wedding comes a full-length romance with love, loneliness, and the little lies that protect bigger secrets...Novelist Michael Herriman is quiet, predictable, and caught in a comfortable shell that revolves around his work until a delayed flight leads to a chance encounter with a fellow passenger. Delicate and reserved, Kate responds to him with warmth, fanning the spark of attraction he feels. They share an impulsive afternoon exploring San Francisco, a day that ends with the two of them still strangers as they catch their separate flights...... until Michael returns to Chicago and meets his best friend's new fiancé. Face to face with Kate and unsure of his own emotions, Michael finds himself roped into being the best man and stranded on a remote English manor for a whole week before the wedding. Unable to avoid Kate's presence or the growing connection between them, he begins to question whether the best man is the man who allows the love of his life to choose someone else.
