Does happily-ever-after really exist? Arden doesn't think so. After watching her parents' messy divorce, she's convinced that love doesn't last forever--and she can't understand why her sister, Laurel, would want to get married. Arden tries to keep her doubts to herself, but during her maid-of-honor speech at the welcome dinner, her true feelings about marriage slip out in spectacular fashion. The next morning, Arden wakes to a nightmare: Laurel has turned runaway bride. Convinced her sister's disappearance is her fault, Arden scrambles to find her before anyone else realizes she's missing--especially the groom. Desperate to make things right, she teams up with the groom's charming but off-limits brother, Shep, to search the city. As the clock ticks down, Arden starts to question everything she thought she knew about happy endings. Maybe love isn't as impossible--or as complicated--as she always believed.
