After her father died, Delilah Green was left with her stepmother and step-sister. The latter, Astrid, is getting married and has insisted that Delilah come back to Bright Falls to photograph the wedding. Yes, Delilah is a photographer and, yes, she does weddings but the history with all three women is... fraught to say the least.
Delilah is a love 'em and leave 'em type (the book literally opens in the aftermath of one of her one-night stands). But she sees one of Astrid's best friends in the local bar and is immediately intrigued. She had dreams of Claire in high school but it seemed like a far reach.
Claire is bisexual and hasn't had sex in awhile because she is also a mother. Her daughter is twelve (teen pregnancy) and is just starting to hit the age when hormones go crazy. Claire is struggling with it but, now that her ex is in town, she has a little more time. Or would if the man could figure out how to care for their pre-teen. At least he's physically there (he wasn't for awhile).
This book has a large number of characters but a surprising amount of depth is given to many of them, not just the two falling in love. There is also a nice setup for some series books and the relationship between Delilah and her sister isn't magically solved after decades but they are left in a better place.
