Along with her feisty sidekick Pokey Bayless Riggs, Annajane Hudgens attends ex-husband Mason Bayless’s wedding confident that she is over him and happy that he’s moving on. She’s also over their sleepy town of Passcoe, N.C., and ready to leave with tepid fiancé Shane. But during the ceremony, her old feelings for Mason return, and just as she’s about to tell him, Mason’s daughter’s sudden stomach pains cut the wedding short. Given time to sort out their feelings, Annajane and Mason confront the problems that led to their breakup, their enduring love, and their shared commitment to the family business, a soda company called Quixie that is being targeted for a takeover by hostile members of Mason’s family. Mason and Annajane must reconcile themselves to their rekindled love, save Quixie, and overcome their past. Though unmemorable, Andrew’s latest (after Summer Rental) is an enjoyable escape. Agent: Stuart Krichevsky Agency. (June)
