Estranged exes must stick close together to save their best friend’s wedding after a string of disasters in this swoony and steamy second-chance romance from the USA Today bestselling author of You, with a View.

Georgia Woodward lives by her lists, none more so than the one about her ex, Eli Mora. It’s full of the ironclad dos and don’ts they’ve been following since she returned to the Bay Area after their cataclysmic breakup five years ago.

With the wedding of their mutual best friend, Adam, looming, and them about to step into their roles as best woman and man, Georgia’s never needed it more. She refuses to threaten their tight-knit friend group with her messy—and still very present—feelings. The rules on that list will keep her cool, calm, and compartmentalized.

What’s not on her list? Eli arriving from New York with a new rule-breaking attitude or the all-inclusive venue burning to the ground, leaving the bride and groom in dire straits. Nor does she anticipate Adam asking her and Eli to help him make a miracle happen. Together.

As Georgia and Eli rush up to Napa Valley to pull off the perfect wedding, their old chemistry comes back in technicolor. Somewhere between cake tastings gone wrong, disastrous DJ auditions, and Eli’s heated attention, Georgia starts recognizing the man she fell in love with before. And if she lets herself break her rules, she might find what they’re building isn’t the something old that ruined them—it’s a chance at something new.

About The Author

Jessica Joyce is the bestselling author of relatable, character-driven contemporary romance stories that feature as much yearning as she can stuff into them. When she's not working on a new book, you can find her making a playlist, watching Sleepless in Seattle and the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice on repeat, or curled up with a book she didn't have to write.

Quotes

“Jessica Joyce is THE voice to watch in romance. Her sophomore novel is tender, emotional, and deeply romantic. I consumed this book with my heart in my throat. The banter, the setting, the achingly messy but wonderfully true characters—I could feel Jessica’s heartbeat on every page. It is absolutely one of my top reads of the year, if not my lifetime. Georgia and Eli happily occupy a corner of my heart.” —B.K. Borison, author of Lovelight Farms
 
“Depth, emotional angst balanced with perfectly sharp humor, and writing that will make your chest ache, The Ex Vows is a sweeping romance that I could not put down.”—Tarah DeWitt, author of The Co-op
 
The Ex Vows is a tangible reminder of the power of love and second chances. I laughed, I swooned, I cried—and I was grateful for every second of it. Jessica Joyce is a force to be reckoned with.”—Lana Ferguson, author of The Fake Mate

The Ex Vows is a steamy, delectable second-chance romance set in beautiful California wine country. Jessica Joyce has created believably flawed characters who tiptoe toward another opportunity for happiness…thoughtful, nostalgic, and sure to make readers wistful for their own first loves.”—Shelf Awareness
