A fast-paced emotional journey that explores whether it's possible to be equally in love with two men at once.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Meredith Altman's engagement to Wesley Latner ended in spectacular disaster--one that shattered her completely. Years have passed since then, and now she's about to marry Aaron Rapp, a former Ivy League football player and baby-saving doctor. As they celebrate their engagement at a new TriBeCa hotspot, Meredith is stunned to find the restaurant owner is none other than Wesley, the man she is still secretly trying to forget. When Meredith learns that Wesley has been diagnosed with ALS, her feelings about their past become all the more confusing. As she spends more time with Wesley and is pulled further under his spell, she discovers what kind of man her new fiancé really is--and what kind of woman she wants to be.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>2020 Readers' Favorite Book Awards: Gold Medal in Fiction - New Adult<br> 2020 Readers' Favorite Book Awards: Wild Dancer Films Winner<br> 2020 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Winner in Romance (Fiction)</b> <p/> "Exploring the messy concept of closure, this is a charmingly witty novel that fans of Emily Belden's <i>Hot Mess</i> (2019) and J.
