Lola Ellis has a picture-perfect life. Until she doesn't.
Successful and engaged to the man of her dreams. Until suddenly she's questioning her position in the family company, her fianc├й's fidelity, and everything she thought she knew about life.
On her way to Florida to open a new branch of the family business and meet her fianc├й, she unexpectedly detours to visit her best friend in Durham, North Carolina. What was meant to be a week of rest and relaxation stretches into a permanent TBD.
Will English is an uptight, arrogant bartender who keeps scaring away waitresses. When Lola takes a job at his bar to fill her time, he decides not to engage with the underqualified waitress. She's clumsy, clueless, and costing him too much money. And yet . . . there's something about her that keeps him from dismissing her.
After the bar closes every night, they forge a friendship that doesn't fit into either of their lives. Lola's stay in Durham is only temporary. And Will's roots in the city are deeply established. A relationship doesn't make sense. But sometime after midnight one night . . . they decide they don't care.
Contains mature themes.
