Learning you’re still married eleven years after your divorce was supposed to be finalized would give any man severe heartburn. Especially when you’re engaged to someone else. And you’re still mystified about why the marriage fell apart in the first place.

After his attorney conveys the astonishing news, Jared McAlister travels to New York, set on delivering new divorce papers to his wife, Cecelia Chadwick. Over dinner, shared memories stir emotions he thought he’d come to terms with long ago.

Cecelia’s life is orderly. She has clients who count on her and deadlines to meet. So diligent, her boss thinks she works too much. So steady, her boyfriend is ready for a commitment. The trouble is, she’s still hung up on Jared—the only man who ever helped her experience something other than unrelenting responsibility.

Thrown together again, could this be a second chance at love or their final goodbye?
