Irish Wish

Maddie, the talented but unassuming bookish protagonist, is deeply in love with her soulmate, Paul Kennedy, an actor. When Paul gets engaged to his childhood best friend, Scarlett, Maddie must put her feelings aside to be a bridesmaid at their Irish wedding. However, as the wedding day approaches, Maddie makes a spontaneous wish to the magical stone, the "Stone of Destiny", hoping to find her true love. To her shock, she wakes up as the bride-to-be, engaged to Paul, and her life takes an unexpected turn. But as she navigates this new reality, she begins to question if this is truly what she wants, especially when a new man enters her life.
