Lola Ellis has a picture-perfect life. Until she doesn't.
Successful and engaged to the man of her dreams. Until suddenly she's questioning her position in the family company, her fiancé's fidelity, and everything she thought she knew about life.
On her way to Florida to open a new branch of the family business and meet her fiancé, she unexpectedly detours to visit her best friend in Durham, North Carolina. What was meant to be a week of rest and relaxation stretches into a permanent TBD.
Will English is an uptight, arrogant bartender who keeps scaring away waitresses. When Lola takes a job at his bar to fill her time, he decides not to engage with the underqualified waitress. She's clumsy, clueless, and costing him too much money. And yet . . . there's something about her that keeps him from dismissing her.
After the bar closes every night, they forge a friendship that doesn't fit into either of their lives. Lola's stay in Durham is only temporary. And Will's roots in the city are deeply established. A relationship doesn't make sense. But sometime after midnight one night . . . they decide they don't care.
Contains mature themes.
