Ellie Ford's life is moving along beautifully. In three days, she will become the wife of her longtime fiance, Luke Baker. There isn't any downside to that until she finds that dreaded note in Luke's pants pocket. Her romantic ideal of marital bliss becomes her worst nightmare, with Luke in the leading role as a two-timing cheater. To Ellie, the idea of canceling the wedding without notice is unthinkable. But on their special day, Luke is the one absent from the ceremony. The honeymoon Ellie was so looking forward to suddenly becomes a vacation with Gina-her dearest friend-to Charleston, her favorite city. Within a month, Ellie loads up her beloved jasmine plant and moves south. Falling for Donovan Winthrop, the gallery owner and accomplished artist, isn't on Ellie's bucket list, but she can't help herself. He's gorgeous, sweet, and a true southern gentleman-or is he? Donovan has a few secrets of his own that he doesn't want to share. Revealing their secrets to each other is the only way they can move forward as a couple, but a wrench is suddenly thrown into their plans when Luke Baker arrives in Charleston, ready to make amends with Ellie and take her home. Ellie must decide whether to stay and begin a new romance or leave and slip back into the familiarity of an old one. Feeling torn, Ellie has a lot to think about-and two men waiting for her answer."
