A newly single girl. A tall dark handsome stranger. What could go wrong? It''s 7 a.m. on a Monday and Abby Reynolds isn''t where she wants to be.

And who, like everyone in the village, still thinks she''s a high-flying New Yorker... who''s getting married next year. Abby is certain getting under Luke will help her get over her ex. But the truth is stopping her. Can she admit to everyone back home that she''s single and has lost everything? Because, if she wants the boy next door, she may just have to...
