Aefle and Gisela
Medieval History Professor Thomas Charlemagne thinks he is finally slaying the dragon of his Timid Tommy reputation when he responds to an outlandish dare at a bachelor party and stops a wedding the very next morning.

She grabs the chance to leave her groom at the altar, dragging Tom with her. DeeDee and Tom share a history, a fling more than ten years ago, before he went off to graduate school and started ascending the career ladder of academia and she took over her fathers car dealership in sleepy Oyster Point, Maryland, building it into a coveted business treasure.
