Synopsis

A year ago, Sydney King was a successful pro tennis player with a long-term boyfriend, a plan for the future, and a shot at fulfilling all her dreams.

Now, she has a cheating ex-boyfriend and a career-ending injury, and—quite frankly—things could not be going worse for her.

She hopes that returning home to Stoneport, Massachusetts, will be the reset her life needs—until she finds out her ex's wedding to the woman he cheated with is the social event of the season.

The last person Sydney expects to find camaraderie with is her former fiancé's sister, Reese Devereux. Back home after the purchase of a local inn, Reese has wounds of her own and seems even less enthused about her brother's wedding than Sydney.

When an unexpected mix-up creates the perfect story that she and Reese are dating, shockingly, Reese runs with it. Sydney knows it's a bad idea, but being on Reese's arm gives her the chance to pretend life is just a little bit more in her control than it feels.

Both women are coming home to their pasts, but it's up to them to decide what they want their futures to look like.

Contains mature themes.
