Mia Crane is a 28-year-old widow who trades Ohio for Kentucky to attend Bellarmine University. She would’ve reached out to her childhood best friend, Mitch, since they spent every June together, but when he marked unable to attend on her wedding invitation, he pummeled her heart and ended their friendship.

Determined to not let any man reroute her life, again, Mia refuses to acknowledge the spark that appears when her path collides with Mitch and his fiancée, Lacey. But Lacey isn’t naïve… sparks lead to wildfires. To keep Mitch and Mia apart, Lacey weaves a web of manipulation and deceit so complicated that it’s hard to determine if she is the victim or the villain.

But when Mia discovers Lacey’s one misstep, she unearths secret identities, motives, and undeniable passion. Mia must allow Mitch to remove the barbed wire around her heart, so they can work together to find the truth and stop Lacey’s attack in two weeks’ time, or Mia faces expulsion, permanent humiliation, and a future without Mitch.

It’s true that love knocks loudest when uninvited, but so do the stilettos of a vindictive fiancée.
