When a jilted wedding planner and a relationship expert who’s been dumped by his fiancée meet, neither is ready for the sparks that fly.

Wedding planner Riley Jordan should be over the moon about the high-profile job that just dropped into her lap. The pay is amazing, and the event will be a stellar addition to her resumé. There’s just one problem: The groom is the man who broke her heart. Plus, she’s already got enough on her plate dealing with a nephew whose world has been turned upside down.

Psychology professor and relationship guru Alex Barrett needs a reset. His life has imploded, and a standing invitation to visit his uncle in Hope Harbor seems like the perfect escape. Where better to regroup and get his life back on track than a small, restful beach town on the Oregon coast?

When his path crosses with Riley’s, however, the sparks that fly are anything but restful. Though she doesn’t seem any more interested in romance than he is, she does need help with her nephew, and Alex has time to spare. Why not lend a hand—even if putting himself on a collision course with the lovely wedding planner might be flirting with danger.
