A wedding planner left at the altar? Yeah, the irony isn’t lost on Carolina Santos, either. But despite that embarrassing blip from her past, Lina’s offered an opportunity that could change her life. There’s just one hitch… she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials.
Marketing expert Max Hartley is determined to make his mark with a coveted hotel client looking to expand its brand. Then he learns he’ll be working with his brother’s whip-smart, stunning—absolutely off-limits—ex-fiancée. And she loathes him.
If they can nail their presentation without killing each other, they’ll both come out ahead. Except Max has been public enemy number one ever since he encouraged his brother to jilt the bride, and Lina’s ready to dish out a little payback of her own.
Soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them. Still, this star-crossed couple can never be more than temporary playmates because Lina isn’t interested in falling in love and Max refuses to play runner-up to his brother ever again...

"The Worst Best Man is a romantic comedy that's fun and flirty, young and fresh."
“THE WORST BEST MAN is the rom-com we've been waiting for! Mia Sosa is a true talent, perfectly balancing laughter, swoony moments, and heat.”
"Sosa handles alternating viewpoints with perfect aplomb as she once again deftly dishes up for lucky readers another irresistibly fun romance spiced with a zesty sense of humor and spiked with love scenes as hot as the ghost chilis that pepper the Brazilian cuisine featured in this tantalizing tale of love, family, and friendship."
"Sosa imbues a soap operatic premise with weight and heart in this fantastically fun contemporary rom-com... Sosa’s characterization of Lina is masterfully nuanced... Romance fans are sure to be swept away by Sosa’s empathetic characters as they make the most of a ridiculous situation."
"The plot is classic “enemies to lovers” and is executed perfectly... slow-burn romance done perfectly right... A captivating love story about two people who bring out the best in each other both professionally and personally."
"[A] fizzy rom-com..."
"Bring on more books about Black (and brown) women in silly situations. (We're not all about slave narratives!!!!) Mia Sosa meets this demand with her fun romantic comedy that centers on a wedding planner who was left at the altar. Now she must team up with a man she hates for a golden opportunity."
"Mia Sosa’s voice crackles with good old-fashioned wit—she’ll make you laugh but she’ll be so smart about doing it."
