Neither expected to fall in love again. But together they might just discover that the love of their lives came later.

Max McAllister swore off love before the ink was even dry on his divorce papers. Between his attempts to salvage the strained relationship with his daughter and rekindling his passion for woodworking, he doesn't have time for the drama that romance brings.

Carissa Owens has finally found her footing again after losing her husband five years ago. Her wedding business is thriving and she has her sights set on expanding to corporate events-if she can secure a meeting with a lucrative new client.

But when Max's daughter hires Carissa to plan her wedding, he insists on being involved in every aspect of the process, ruffling Carissa's feathers. As they spend more time together, an unexpected attraction sprouts wings. That is, until Max reveals a surprise for his daughter that puts Carissa's professional reputation at risk. Can they find a way to dovetail their plans or will their budding romance have a crash landing?
