How do you steal back Mr. Right? Bring in Mr. Wrong.

Back in high school, Mary Burns was a bit of a stalker, at least when it came to star quarterback, prom king, and all-around heartthrob, Jack Thompson. But after twenty years of "adulting", Mary is now a responsible grown-up, with a successful career in real estate, a car payment, even a 401k plan with company matching. Jack Thompson is just a distant memory. Until ... Mary drags her best friend to their high school reunion and her entire world turns upside down.

While Jack Thompson was what every girl wanted and every guy wanted to be, Gary Wright was, well ... not that. Eagle Scout. Chess clubber. Dungeon Master. Twenty years later, if Jack is still the man of Mary's dreams, Gary has become the man of Mary's nightmares. But when Jack falls for Mary's best friend, desperate times call for desperate measures, and an unlikely alliance is formed.

Perfect Mess is an enemies to lovers, laugh out loud romantic comedy love triangle where Mary learns the hard way that no matter how hard you try, you can't outwit true love.
