Lara Bennett is world-famous in Ribbonwood, population 907. She’s the woman you don't trust your husband with: a real-life femme fatale. If there’s a scandal in town, she’s at the center of it, ruining businesses, marriages, and egos everywhere she goes, with her sharp tongue and that body that makes you look twice. Besides… didn’t she more or less kill a man? Ollie Gabrielli left Ribbonwood right after high school, back when Lara was her arch-nemesis. The queen bee and the closeted soccer star: natural enemies. When she comes home for three months it's to recover from burnout and spend time with her chaotic family, not to reconnect with old classmates. Only somehow, she can’t seem to take her eyes off Lara. How did she only get hotter? And is she really everything they say she is? Sometimes, there’s a reason you should never try to go home.

What happens in Vegas might just save their marriage. Maggie and Gwen Pierce aren’t divorced, not technically. They’re just on pause. Separate bedrooms, strained silences, and young kids who accept vague answers as fact. It’s easier than admitting their marriage is over. Except, Maggie hasn’t told her best friends. When the group heads to Vegas for Pete and Danica’s bachelorette party, their friends are so excited to invite Gwen for the first time, thinking Maggie and Gwen are the happily married couple of the bunch. So, to keep the peace, they decide to fake it. A smile here, a kiss on the cheek there. Just until the weekend is over. Of course, Vegas has its own ideas. Now, Maggie and Gwen have to decide if their story is over or if it is just getting good again. After All is a second-chance rom-com packed with fake dating, marriage-on-pause angst, and the kind of meddling friends who make sure you never face heartbreak or hope alone.
