Five years ago, Cass Reyes was six weeks from marrying into Harbor’s Rest’s golden family until she overheard four words that ended it all: she’s not good enough. She left and never looked back. Now her best friend is marrying into that same family, and Cass can’t escape it: she’s a bridesmaid, and the best man is Eli Marchetti, her ex-fiancé’s older brother, the voice behind the words she’s hated for five years. Six months of forced proximity in Harbor’s Rest. Six months of a man who’s nothing like the villain she remembers. And one inconvenient truth creeping in: what she heard that day might not be what actually happened. What if the man she’s spent five years hating was never the one who broke her heart at all?
