I’m the responsible guy. The polite guy. The guy my teammates on the Wilmington Juggernauts, the NFL’s newest expansion team, rely on to keep things running smoothly.
When I’m sent to a local quilt shop to pick up a donation for an upcoming fundraiser, I realize Im something else: the guy whos going to marry Joss Paige, the self-proclaimed but wildly successful quiltfluencer.
Joss is a hermit, hiding in her shop and online community, but I won’t let that stop me from taking her to the fundraiser. There, I learn she’s been shunned by Wilmington high society because of crimes committed by her ex-husband.
I don’t care about her past or her ex. I only care about keeping her by my side, no matter what it takes. White lies and gentle manipulations—they’re for our happiness. The greater good and all that.
But then I find out what her ex-husband did, what it did to her, and what my tiny white lie will do to her.
And it turns out I’m not the good guy after all.
