Lina Rodrigues is a Brazilian-American wedding planner who was left at the altar three years ago. When she lands a high-stakes job interview with a major hotel chain, she is forced to collaborate with the man responsible for her heartbreak: Max Hartley, the best man who encouraged his brother to jilt her. The two must design a competitive wedding package while navigating a mutual dislike that masks an underlying physical attraction. Their professional rivalry involves high-pressure presentations and constant bickering as they confront past resentments and cultural differences.
Readers who enjoy the enemies-to-lovers trope and stories centered on Afro-Latinx heritage will appreciate the specific cultural details regarding Lina's family and home life. It suits those looking for a workplace romantic comedy featuring a professional woman in a position of authority and a man willing to acknowledge his past mistakes. Readers finish the book with a perspective on how career ambitions and romantic failures can intersect, alongside a story about overcoming public humiliation to find professional success and a new relationship.
