Loving Julie meant letting her choose her own path, even when her choices ripped their friendship apart and landed her in a miserable marriage. Years after moving away from Jasper Falls, Julie and Patrick return home for his brother’s wedding. To save his heart, Patrick lies and pretends he’s in a relationship with Julie’s sister, but Julie is also hiding from the truth and all secrets are about to be exposed.
Patrick should focus on his duties as best man, but seeing his first love has awakened old feelings he can no longer ignore. As secrets are exposed, Patrick hangs his heart on the line. It’s now up to Julie to choose the best man.
