The Night Before Goodbye

Sophie Carter swore she'd never come back to Maplewood.

Two years ago, she left behind her small town, her first heartbreak, and the memories she spent years trying to forget.

Now eighteen, she's only returning for one reason: her mother's wedding.

The plan is simple.

Attend the ceremony.

Smile for the photographs.

Survive seeing her ex-boyfriend.

Leave before sunrise.

But plans change when she meets Gabriel Stone.

Thirty-eight, charming, and impossibly attractive, Gabriel is the last person Sophie expects to connect with-especially when she discovers he's her ex-boyfriend's uncle.

As wedding celebrations turn into chaos during a town-wide power outage, Sophie and Gabriel find themselves spending the night together beneath the stars, talking about dreams, regrets, and the lives they've built far away from Maplewood.

For one unforgettable night, neither of them wants the clock to keep moving.

But dawn is coming.

And Sophie is leaving.

Sometimes the people who change your life only have one night to do it.
