What this book is about
Faith Holland was dumped at the altar—by a man who, it turns out, is gay and in love with the best man. She moves back to her small New York town, next door to Levi Cooper, who watched the whole thing happen from the front row and is now the town's police chief. The Best Man is a contemporary romance with a warm ensemble of Holland siblings and some genuine emotional depth.
