Carly Maxwell has spent the last three years putting her life back together.

This single mom works hard as a teacher to help her daughter have everything she needs. It hasn’t been easy. She’s done it all alone. After a bad breakup, she swore off men and focused on her career, friends, and being a mom. The one constant in her life has been her neighbor. He’s been there for her through everything. He’s the perfect guy, and she’d never do anything to threaten their friendship.

Brayden Murphy hasn’t dated in years. His no serious relationship rule has kept him from even considering asking out his gorgeous neighbor, Carly. After all, he promised Carly’s daughter that he’d always be there for them. And he’d never forgive himself if he ruined that.

These two have pushed each other so far into the friend zone that they can’t even see the chemistry between them. But will sharing a villa while at a destination wedding change everything?
