Clara Langley planned the perfect wedding—until it went perfectly wrong.

Santorini, the perfect sunset, and a thousand livestream viewers were supposed to capture her dream day. Instead, they caught her groom kissing her bridesmaid minutes before she walked down the aisle.

Armed with a phone full of betrayal footage and a handful of wedding cake, Clara loses her cool in spectacular fashion—shoving frosting in faces, tossing champagne, and storming out in her couture gown. Hours later, she’s gone viral, mortified, and stranded on a tiny neighboring island after bribing a fisherman to sail her anywhere else.

Her only refuge? A half-closed seaside inn—and Nikos Papadakis, the grumpy, broad-shouldered Greek baker who made her wedding cake…and witnessed her meltdown in high definition.

He’s determined to keep his peace and his kitchen in order. She’s determined to disappear until the scandal dies down. But when storms trap them together and gossip travels faster than the ferry, sparks fly faster than a flaming saganaki.

Now Clara’s realizing that maybe the perfect wedding wasn’t what she wanted after all—because the grumpy baker next door might just be her happily ever after.
