A poignant and romantic novel from Kate Clayborn - perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Cara Bastone and Carley Fortune.

Can the city of love repair what's been broken?

Layla has spent the last year telling herself she's moved on from her divorce. Staying friends with her ex seemed like the mature thing to do - until her former sister-in-law invites her to her destination wedding in Paris - the city where Layla once spent her own romantic honeymoon. Seeing her ex at the wedding, and the family she once called her own, will be a real test of her so-called amicable divorce.

When a late-night conversation with the bride leads to cold feet, Layla suddenly finds herself facing down the groom's brooding best man, Griffin, who will do anything to make sure this wedding happens.

Forced to work together to get the couple back in each other's arms, Layla and Griff find themselves wandering the streets of Paris, dancing in the gardens of Versailles, and sharing romantic candlelit dinners . . . As the city of love works its magic, they begin to understand the heartaches holding them back. But will the hope of a second chance be enough to help them choose love one more time?
