Three friends. A broken engagement. A surprise elopement. A big secret. A lot of chocolate.
Carmella Sannarelli has never been good at putting herself first. So, when her best friend, Sadie, announces she's called off her engagement and is eloping with someone new in St. Croix, Carmella drops everything to be maid of honor.
Ryan Wutkowski is on his way to San Juan for work, trying to keep things normal after his breakup with Sadie. The last person he expects to find in the seat beside him? Carmella-anxious and determined to figure out what went wrong between her friends. Feelings he's buried for years start to break free, and he only has two days to figure out his next move while he has the chance.
As close quarters and far too many lingering glances trip up her heart, Carmella heads off to St. Croix for the wedding. Between an overly flirtatious best man, making sure Sadie isn't making a huge mistake, and questioning her own understanding of love and loyalty, nothing feels simple anymore.
And when Ryan shows up at the rehearsal dinner, acting like she might be the real reason he came, will Carmella finally recognize what's been right in front of her all along?

Autorentext
J. Lynn Rowan started writing stories as a small child, usually starring her favorite cartoon characters. Most of her work through middle and high school was filled with typical teenage angst and melodrama, and usually mirrored the books she loved to read. But eventually she found her own author's voice and decided to seriously pursue a writing career.
Historical fiction remains J. Lynn's "first love", but she has enjoyed the journey to becoming an author of romance and chick lit. She is a member of Romance Writers of America, Hearts Through History Romance Writers, Carolina Romance Writers, and the Historical Novel Society.
When she's not writing, J. Lynn enjoys travelling, gardening poorly but enthusiastically, studying various topics in American history for her own expertise, and channeling Julia Child every time she steps into the kitchen.
A native of Oswego, NY, she now lives near Charlotte, NC, with her own Romantic Hero of a husband and their three children, affectionately known as Babycakes, Sugarpie, and Little Bro.
