Nothing says fated mates quite like being left at the altar. Nyla Stone is finally picking the pieces of her life back up after one of the most humiliating experiences of her life.

When a local bartending competition invites her to participate, she knows the exposure could mean everything to the business she’s strived to build. The catch?
