The Wedding Plus-None

One fake boyfriend. Five wedding events. Zero chance of catching feelings. (Lies.)

Published May 19, 2026 · 368 pages

Synopsis

Margot Finch has RSVP'd 'plus one' to her ex's wedding. She does not have a plus one. She has a cat, a spreadsheet and a growing sense of doom.

Enter Jonah Reyes, Larkhaven's very handsome, very annoying new vet, who owes Margot a favour after a deeply embarrassing incident involving a goat.

The rules are simple: hold hands in public, no kissing unless someone's watching, and absolutely nobody falls in love.

The rules last until the rehearsal dinner.
