Minutes before Mariah gets married, her maid of honor shows her a viral video. In it, a woman tells the internet about the magical night she spent with a handsome stranger in Nashville-and asks for help finding the man she believes is her soulmate. Mariah happens to know exactly where he is. He's waiting at the end of the aisle for her. After creating a viral moment of her own, Mariah spends the next two months hiding from the unwanted fame that turned the worst day of her life into a public spectacle-and transformed her into the infamous Burn It All Bride. Then she meets a gruff, devastatingly handsome stranger on a flight who has absolutely no idea who she is. With him, she doesn't have to be the heartbroken bride millions of strangers think they know. She can just be Ivy. And the quiet Texan beside her becomes Tex. When an emergency landing strands them for one night in the city Mariah has cast as the villain in her story, she is determined to make the best of it with the man who is already making Nashville feel different. As the attraction between them becomes impossible to ignore, they agree on three rules. One night. No real names. No promises beyond morning. And no chance of ever forgetting each other. They walk away the next morning believing their perfect night will remain exactly that-a beautiful memory neither of them is allowed to chase. Mariah is still rebuilding the life her cheating fiancé destroyed. And Tex... Tex is trying to start over after betrayal cost him everything he worked years to create. Until fate brings them together again on Beaumont Ranch, and the stranger Mariah promised to leave behind becomes impossible to walk away from twice. Some nights break your heart. Some nights heal you. And some nights change you forever.

Camden Edson never believed in happily ever after. Men were fine for a good time, but love? Commitment? Marriage? Those belonged in fairy tales, not real life. After watching her father walk away from her family for another woman, Camden built her life around one simple rule: never depend on anyone. Then she met Theo Sullivan. Somehow, the brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon slipped past every defense she had. He became the one person who made forever feel possible. Two years into their marriage, Camden is thriving as a clinical psychologist while Theo begins an intense cardiovascular fellowship at the same hospital. Long hours and opposite schedules leave little time for each other, but every stolen moment reminds Camden why she took the chance. Until one weekend changes everything. When Camden receives an emergency call that her estranged father is being rushed into open-heart surgery, she desperately tries to reach Theo. His phone goes straight to voicemail. Then she calls his best friend. Only to discover Theo was never where he claimed he would be. As old wounds rip open, Camden is forced to confront more than the possibility of her husband's betrayal. She's suddenly responsible for saving the life of the man whose own infidelity destroyed her family, while questioning whether the marriage she fought to believe in was built on the very lie she swore she'd never survive twice. Some hearts can be repaired. Others never heal the same way.
