Forgetting Sarah Marshall meets Anyone But You in this novel from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author and The Bachelorette star Hannah Brown.
Starling Ranch Inn promises to be a tropical paradise, and Sybil can't wait to escape there, all expenses paid. Well technically the expenses were paid--last year, when she was supposed to go to Hawaii for her honeymoon with her then-fiancé Jamie. But the wedding didn't go as planned (or at all), and now she's decided to use those hotel vouchers alone, before they expire. Sybil's expecting mai tais, med spas and me-time, so she nearly plunges backwards into the infinity pool when she sees that Jamie has had the same idea! His family business is thinking of buying the resort, so he's here with a gorgeous, tangerine bikini-clad "colleague" to give the property a once-over. Desperate to save face in front of the ex who broke her heart at the altar, Sybil accidentally-on-purpose blurts out that she's here with her boyfriend. But what starts as a harmless lie to spare her dignity soon spirals into an ex-fiancé fiasco when Sebastian--the second of Sybil's three failed engagements--pops by fresh off a photography gig. Seb's always up for a good time, and happy to play along ...sparking unexpected jealousy in Jamie. From snorkeling snafus to stunning vistas to staff parties at the beach, Sybil does her best to juggle two ex-fiancés, but it's becoming clear that her past of broken promises must be reckoned with once and for all--including that first fiancé, Liam, the one she never talks about... Is the notorious free-spirit, life-of-the-party, runaway bride Sybil Rain ready to heal from her three past engagements and make room in her heart for a fourth and final chance at love?Author Biography
