Alice Lin spent a year planning the perfect wedding. It took her fiancé weeks to dismantle it—one secret at a time.
As the most successful event planner in the business, Alice is a master of logistics and a devotee of "Perfection." She has the venue, the dress, and the man of her dreams in Lucian Garrett. She has every detail of their future filed away, certain that her life is finally following the flawless script she wrote for it.
But perfection is a fragile thing.
Weeks before the ceremony, the woman from Lucian’s past reappears like a lingering heatwave. Elena is everything Alice isn't: spontaneous, reckless, and a haunting reminder of the life Lucian led before he had a ring in his pocket and a reputation to maintain. While Alice is busy finalizing floral arrangements and seating charts, Lucian is fighting a losing battle against his own history. It isn't just a lapse in judgment; it is a slow surrender to the version of himself he used to be with Elena—carefree, irresponsible, and unchained.
Weeks of resisting eventually give way to a final, devastating succumbing to the allure of the past.
When Alice discovers his betrayal in the most soul-crushing way possible, she doesn’t crumble—at least, not where anyone can see. She isn’t staying behind to answer questions or accept apologies. Instead, she takes her non-refundable honeymoon to a sun-drenched coastal paradise alone. She expects a summer of healing and heartbreak, but she doesn'''t expect Lucian to show up at the villa next door, desperate to reclaim the woman he threw away.
Under the unforgiving glare of the Mediterranean sun, Lucian is determined to prove he can be the man she deserves. But Alice isn’t the loyal, trusting woman he knew. She’s guarded, she’s hurt, and she’s ready to let him burn.
Can a summer of second chances fix a heart that’s been systematically broken? Or are some things—like them—meant to stay ruined?
