The only thing harder than leaving is loving her.
I’m good at two things: handling penguins and leaving town before things get complicated. Coming back to Ido was never part of the plan. It’s a paycheck.
A short-term job wrangling penguins for a winter-themed wedding that’s melting faster than the fake snow. I’ll be in and out before anyone expects anything from me.
Then I meet Zina Baxter.
She’s organized. Loyal. The kind of woman who fixes problems instead of running from them.
When a rescue full of pit bulls ends up sharing space with my birds, we’re suddenly spending more time together than either of us planned. She belongs here. I’ve never belonged anywhere.
The longer I stay, the harder it is to ignore the way she looks at me—like I could be more than the guy who always walks away.
Leaving has always been easy. Leaving her won’t be.
Welcome to the small town of Ido, Texas—where weddings bring the whole town together, chaos is part of the charm, and love has a way of showing up when you least expect it.
From fake fiancés to runaway grooms and second chances worth fighting for, every “I do” in Ido comes with a side of small-town mischief, laugh-out-loud humor, and heart-melting romance.
