    He's a cynic. She's a romantic. One deal, one wedding, and one gigantic secret stand between them.
        
        **
        
        Harper Lane wants to believe in true love. After her parents split, she began photographing evidence of it. Couples holding hands. Valentine's Day cards. Anything to prove that love exists.
        
        Lawson Hale is a cynic. After a devastating incident rocked his life three years ago, he's lost faith in everything. True love and forever? Both of them are scams, in Lawson's opinion.
        
        But when Harper flies to London for her father's wedding, the two find themselves trapped in a closet together. Harper thinks he's a mess. Lawson thinks she's soppy. But when Lawson offers to find her a date for the wedding, how can she refuse? After all, Harper's determined to change Lawson's mind about true love - and what better way to do it than by falling in love right in front of him?
        
        Four male friends. One waylaid girl. An unforgettable wedding.
        
        FIRST BOOK IN THE "Wilder Boys" SERIES.
