Maddie Wilson thought life was as easy as reading blueprints: Graduate with an architecture degree in Charlotte-done. Backpack through Paris and snap 137 Eiffel Tower selfies-done. Land her dream job designing San Francisco skyscrapers-done. Romantic entanglements-who has time for that? Then her best friend's wedding invite arrives...with a bold "+1." Cue 3 AM spreadsheet sessions, emergency cupcake bribes, and enough iced lattes to power a Ferris wheel. Meanwhile, there's Jake: a six‑footer of teasing commentary, gravity‑defying dark brown curls, and eyes so warm they could melt her iced coffee. He knows her caffeine order by heart, and grins like he's already won whatever game they're playing. Maddie's nervous to move to the other side of the country. Will she be enough for the TOP architecture firm in the USA? Will she make friends or will be all alone? And let's not think about the wedding because she doesn't know how to tell her friends that she'll attend without her plus one. But then, Jake appeared. And he changed everything.
