Sweet As Honey

Will they make it to the wedding day?

Dex—a small-town cop with a sexy smile and a dark past—and the vulnerable but warm-hearted Honey Summers have decided to wait until their wedding night to sleep together, to give themselves time to prove they're serious about each other.

Dex's last girlfriend pretended she was pregnant to get him to marry her, but luckily he found out just hours before and left her at the altar. Waiting to sleep with Honey until after they're married means Dex doesn't have to worry about that happening again - not that he really thinks the sweet and gentle Honey would do the same as his crazy ex.

Honey has escaped from a previous abusive relationship, and she's relieved she doesn't have to think about the physical side of things for a while. Dex being willing to wait proves to her that he's serious, and it makes the wedding night an exciting prospect.

But events are gradually conspiring against them. Dex's ex-girlfriend arrives to stir up the past, and Honey is called to do jury service on a case that mirrors the events in her own life, bringing back all the old doubts.

The wedding is only a week away, but their big day hangs in the balance. Is their love strong enough to pull them through?
