Thanks to a lady who understands exactly how to make a public proposal on her own, the author of The Wedding Date dishes up a story about what happens when a public proposal doesn't result into a joyful ending... It shouldn't come as a surprise when someone asks you to spend the rest of your life with him—especially when it happens in front of 45,000 people. The last thing freelance writer Nikole Paterson expects when she goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his buddies is a scoreboard proposal. The hardest thing isn't saying no; they've barely been dating for five months, and he can't even spell her name correctly. The difficult aspect is facing a stadium full of disgruntled fans.
Carlos Ibarra, who is at the game with his sister, comes to Nik's rescue and takes her away from a television team. When the video goes viral and Nik's social media explodes—in a horrible way—there he's for her. Carlos can't possibly be searching for anything serious in the wilds of LA, so Nik embarks on an epic rebound with him, complete with food, fun, and wonderful sex. However, when their glorified hookups begin to break the rules, one of them must be wise enough to put the brakes on.
I’ve spent so long being afraid of love, because the last time I was in love, the man I loved only loved one part of me, but not all of me, and I thought love meant having to sacrifice a part of yourself. But then I was with you, and you loved every part of me, even the parts I don’t like. And that scared me more, because I thought there must be some trick and that I couldn’t let myself believe it or I’d fall into the trap. But finally I realized it wasn’t a trap.
