Alexa Monroe never expects to agree to go to a wedding with a stranger, especially one she’s trapped with in an elevator. But Drew Nichols is impossible to resist. After a power outage strands them together, they become the perfect fake couple for his ex's wedding. Despite their undeniable connection, Drew’s surgical career in Los Angeles and Alexa’s political role in Berkeley threaten to keep them apart. Their story is a charming exploration of the clash between what they think they need and what they truly want.
