Renee Grothen is a seasoned wedding planner in a small‑town setting, leading the catalog‑playing brand Happily Inc. She’s built a career around keeping her life on her own terms—never having to say “I do.”

The chemistry between the expert planner and the star writer fuels both their personal and professional lives, turning a simple proposal into a burning attraction they can’t ignore.
Renee’s crisis‑aversion skills are tested as she must decide whether to chase true love or keep her life firmly planned. The story blends romance, humor, and small‑town charm to explore the choice between controlled plans and the unpredictable power of passion.
