Carolina Santos plans weddings for a living, and hers fell through on the day. A hotel job could be her next big break, if she can put together a winning pitch with Max Hartley. He’s the ex-fiancé’s brother, the best man who delivered the bad news, and the person Lina blames for helping talk the groom out of marrying her.

## What makes it funny?

Lina has a perfectly good reason to make Max squirm and an equally good reason to make him look competent. There’s a job at stake, so any payback has to leave the two of them in shape to sell a client on the idea of a flawless wedding.

### The comedy at work

Sosa gives Lina and Max turns telling the story. To Lina, this is a second encounter with a family she meant to put behind her. To Max, the pitch is a rare chance to get out from under his brother’s shadow. Each has a different reason to stick around when walking away would be easier.

### Try this if…

The courtship takes its time getting from resentment to attraction. Lina’s family and Brazilian roots get room on the page alongside the hotel pitch, and the love scenes are steamy.
