It was supposed to be the happiest day of Jaslene Simmon’s life, the day she’d say “I do” to Marcus Clark. But when her sister dies in a tragic accident, everything changes - including her once rosy future with Marcus. Jaslene instead pours all her energy into caring for her now motherless niece and running the wedding planning company she and her sister had built, wanting to honor her sister’s dream even if she has to sacrifice her own.

As an archivist at the Lowcountry African American Heritage Museum, Marcus shines a light on stories of forgotten people. Researching history is better than dealing with his own heartache - and the guilt he has over the role he may have inadvertently plated in the death of Jaslene’s sister.

Jaslene never thought she’d cross paths with Marcus again, but she ends up planning a wedding at the museum, which is faced with the threat of closure. As they work together to save it, their buried feelings slowly reignite. They soon realize there is still room in their hearts for love…if only they can overcome their past.
