Caught between her ex and his brother, Maxwell toes the line of love and friendship in the shoes of a 'grooms woman' who refuses to settle down.

******

Fresh out of college and working in her dream role as a graphic designer at one of the most prestigious fashion companies, Maxwell feels that her life is finally falling into place. When the news of her oldest friend (and ex-boyfriend) Finn's wedding brings her back to her parent's vineyard, she assumes 'grooms woman' duties to the man she chose to leave behind all those years ago. Luca, her ex's older brother and now a billionaire CEO, is also back for the first time in over four years, bringing a storm of change with him in the night. As the wedding festivities bring the two closer than ever, Maxwell finds herself undeniably drawn to Luca, much to Finn's increasing irritation. The two struggle with the consequences of their attraction as the sexual tension and emotional connection grows between them, forcing Maxwell to question whether her happiness and desires are worth ripping their families apart and changing the course of her future forever.
