My high school sweetheart, the boy who shattered my heart, is back in our small town, and there will be no avoiding him for the next two weeks… Only there is nothing boyish about Miguel Fernandez.

And that’s exactly what he’s doing every time our paths cross. I shouldn’t let it affect me. After all, there was a good reason why we broke up in the first place. But no matter how much I try to put some distance between us, it’s impossible to stay away when our childhood friends are getting married. Not only is he attending the wedding. He is in the wedding—the best man to my maid of honor.
