Four years ago, two men met by chance at the Annual National Whiskey Convention in Kentucky. It was supposed to be a one-time thing; no names or numbers exchanged. The next year, the attraction was still there and neither could resist. Their yearly one-night stand stayed in Kentucky, but their emotional connection continued through texts and calls.
Now, Ripley is helping his best friend prepare for her wedding as her man of honor while mending a broken heart from the last time he saw his stranger. He’s tried everything—including having someone else in his bed—to get over him. The last thing Ripley expected was for him to show up in his small town of Indigo Hill; even worse, he showed up as the groom’s best man.
Seth is in Indigo Hill to support his best friend by standing at his side in his wedding and helping the bride with her bed-and-breakfast expansion. He’s already stressed about missing work and leaving his sisters in Seattle with his volatile father, but then he sees the man whose heart he broke months ago because he couldn’t let himself be happy. With the mystery of his identity blown to shreds, Seth is spiraling and terrified his secret will get out.
Can he deny himself the man he loves again? If he does, can Ripley survive heartbreak for a second time? Or will they allow themselves to be loved the way they deserve?
