The Best Man: Unfinished Business

The beloved characters from The Best Man movies and hit television series reunite for a sexy and soulful, heartbreaking and hilarious reckoning of love.

Recently divorced and fresh off a Pulitzer Prize win, Harper Stewart is in a new era. He's working on a movie and living the ultimate bachelor life in his Brooklyn penthouse. But still, something is missing. What else explains the stubborn creative block? The carousel of women? And seventh-wheel status with his friends?

Jordan Armstrong had to flee New York. First, to give herself distance from Harper and, second, to escape the corporate grind. In her beachfront Malibu property, the façade of a "healed" Jordan flourishes. Yet she finds herself unmoored. Despite the physical distance, she still feels Harper's magnetic pull.

Meanwhile, in Ghana, Robyn has gone full bohemian restaurateur. She has finally found peace and won't let another man ruin it--that is, until a handsome local entrepreneur commands her attention. But it's all too much change for her daughter, Mia, and when she secretly calls Harper with an emergency Robyn would rather hide, their world is shaken and relationships are tested once more.

Book one of The Best Man trilogy follows Harper, Jordan, and Robyn as they try to establish lives away from the hurts of the past and come to realize that some love is impossible to break. With support from their close-knit crew of chosen family--Quentin, Shelby, Lance, Murch, and Candace--they fight for a future that proves one's second act can be the extended chapter worth it all.
