Don't miss this heartwarming and charming romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy!

Whoever said opposites attract must have been talking about Kate Marlow and Barrett Fox. Her life's work was bringing people together, and his was tearing them apart. The pretty wedding consultant and the sexy divorce lawyer should have hated each other on sight, and-well, they did. But from that first moment, when Cupid's arrow struck the unsuspecting Barrett-literally-there was something between them that just wouldn't go away. There was no way it would work, of course. They both knew that. She was as romantic as they came, born to wear white lace and to carry a bouquet of roses with baby's breath, while he'd learned the hard way not to believe in love-or much of anything else. It was impossible, completely impossible, wasn't it? Falling in love has never been so much fun!
