She plans every detail of other people's happily ever afters.
Lila is the wedding planner who sees everything coming, except the stranger who walks straight into her tray of tasting cakes. His name is Nate. He's late, he's glued to his phone, and he's the bride's big brother, which means he'll be at every fitting, every dinner, and every last-minute crisis until the big day.
He thinks marriage is a business agreement. She believes in love with her whole heart. One of them is going to have to be wrong.
