About

One day, Sage Anderson is putting on her wedding dress; the next, she’s leaving for her honeymoon with a man who’s not the groom. But she knows what she wants, so why should she settle for anything else? Unless, of course, beneath her positivity and confidence, she doesn’t have a clue what she wants and she’s making it up as she goes.

If anyone deserves the woman of their dreams, surely it’s good-guy Callum Ridge. Once known for his popularity on the varsity football team, he now works for a charity, volunteers at an animal shelter, is the go-to for advice with life’s problems, and helps out his neighbors. However, behind his good deeds is a man who grapples with the guilt from his past.

After the worst trip of their lives, Sage and Callum struggle with their feelings for each other. Sage needs to uncover who she really is beneath the strokes of the image she paints for appearances' sake. And Callum throws himself into volunteer work to get his mind off Sage. But that only works until Sage unveils a determination to be with him, despite his insistence he’s not worthy of her love.
