Santa Barbara fire chief Jace Williams hit rock bottom: suspended from work, unable to escape the dreams, and distant from family. He just got divorced from his cheating husband, but it takes six months to be single in California law. How did his perfect, organized life turn into this disaster?

Despite their clashing personalities, planning a wedding together overcomes Charlie’s dislike of strings and Jace’s reluctance to commit. Neither of them expected to find the one at the best, yet worst, possible time. Is this what real love feels like?
