This holiday, two of Texas's most beloved sweethearts are finally gettin' hitched.
Everyone in the small town of Spruce is overjoyed as the winter wedding kicks off.

Everyone except me, Malcolm Tucci.

I'm forced to attend the festivities with my father catering the event.
That's going to bring my stone-hearted, grudge-carrying self face-to-face with Bobby, the soccer boy groom I could have had,
as well as Jimmy, the cocky dancer who stole him away.

What I didn't count on, however, was having my feet swept out from under me - literally - by a rugged, pretty-eyed, and insufferably cocky man-child named Samuel.

He's stubborn. Pushy. And keeps finding ways to pester me every minute I'm here.
But there's something else about him I find disarming. Is it the way he looks at me? The way he listens to my every word?
The magical way he seems to peel back my layers and reveal the real me - seeing me like no one else does?

There's something deep and hopeful in his eyes - something I find annoyingly hypnotizing.
I have a feeling there is a heck of a lot more to this Samuel than I ever could have expected.

Is it too late for me to believe in romance again?
Or is this holiday wedding about to get crashed?
