Abby Hendrix would do anything to help with her beloved sister's wedding, even play tour guide to the off-puttingly brilliant—and unexpectedly gorgeous—brother of the groom. She's a small-town schoolteacher; he's a gifted surgeon. Nothing intimidating about that! She'll just ask him to help her plan a top secret surprise for the wedding. No pressure. Joaquin Kincaid has always been book-smart and people-awkward, and Abby's sweet and social nature triggers an unexpected yearning inside him. His whole life, he's been an outsider, while she's so popular she's able to convince an entire town to go along with her wild ideas. For the first time ever, he's met a woman who accepts him as he is, quirks and all, and he feels himself falling in love. Could Abby love him, too? Or, when she discovers the real reason he came to Fool's Gold, will he lose her forever?
