Clara Bennett came to Greyhaven to watch her younger sister get married.
She never expected to be the one standing beside the groom when the bride disappeared.
For most of Clara's life, Sophie has been the beautiful, impulsive sister everyone worries about, while Clara has been the dependable one—the woman who fixes problems, keeps the peace, and cleans up whatever mess Sophie leaves behind.
But nothing could prepare her for Sophie's biggest disaster yet.
On the morning of her wedding, Sophie vanishes, leaving behind her dress, her phone, and a letter admitting she cannot marry Ethan Vale.
And Clara is the one who has to tell him.
Ethan is everything Sophie claimed she wanted: steady, loyal, hardworking, and deeply rooted in the small coastal town of Greyhaven. Being abandoned hours before his wedding should send him running as far from the Bennett family as possible.
Instead, a violent storm closes the roads and traps everyone together at the Vale House Hotel.
Including Clara.
With the wedding canceled, the power failing, and an entire hotel full of stranded relatives watching their every move, Clara and Ethan find themselves working side by side through the wreckage. What begins as shared frustration slowly becomes something neither of them is prepared to acknowledge.
Because Ethan notices Clara.
Not the capable sister everyone depends on.
Not the woman behind the camera.
Her.
And the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore a connection that may have begun long before Sophie ever walked into Ethan's life.
But wanting each other is the easy part.
Clara refuses to become her sister's replacement, Ethan refuses to pretend his past with Sophie meant nothing, and an entire town is ready to decide their story before they have figured it out themselves.
Then Sophie comes back.
Now Clara must choose whether protecting everyone else is worth walking away from the first man who has ever made her feel truly seen—and Ethan must convince her of one thing:
She was never the wrong sister.
