CHAPTER 1

“Are you ready for this?”

Autumn Keating glanced up from the computer she’d been staring at and blinked several times to clear the fuzziness from her head. Lack of sleep, insufficient caffeine and dread were not a great mix.

“Yes.”

No. That was the real answer, but she couldn’t exactly tell that to her boss. Cindy cocked her head to the side and squinted in that knowing, mom of teenagers way. “Really?”

This was the problem with working for your best friend. They knew too much.

With a sigh, Autumn flopped back into the warm leather chair. “Fine. No, I’m not ready, but that doesn’t matter since it’s happening anyway.”

“I could take the meeting.”

It wasn’t the first time Cin had made the offer. And Autumn’s response was the same each time. “This is my job. I’m a big girl and can handle it.”

“I have no doubt. You’re the best event planner in the entire state of South Carolina. Maybe the south. But that doesn’t meanyou need to sacrifice your own mental well-being to do the job. You have a team. And me.”

This was not news to her. The Retreat in Sweetheart, South Carolina was known as the best luxury resort in the state. They catered to a list of who’s who – celebrities, athletes, social media stars who liked to film every second of their stay. They’d only been open for a few years, but those social media posts had skyrocketed them into the world of the elite very quickly.
