Alicia Hanratty knows exactly what to expect from her life. She’s got a decent career, a comfortable routine, and a best friend, Cleo, who’s always by her side. But when Cleo’s engagement takes her two hours up a mountain, loneliness hits Alicia hard. When an uptight lawyer at Cleo’s engagement party makes her a strangely formal offer of friendship, she takes it. For the loneliness—not because his unexpected smiles turn her insides into jelly.
Paul Walters is not looking for romance. After ending a four year relationship, he’s ready for some breathing room. Only breathing room feels an awful lot like sadness. When he meets a woman who looks as blue as he does at his brother’s engagement party, he makes an unconventional request to see her again. It’s supposed to be friendship, nothing more—which wouldn’t be a problem if Alicia were a little less charming—and a lot less determined to keep him at arm’s length.
As they spend more time together—and the wedding gets closer—Paul and Alicia have to answer one question: are they willing to risk their friendship with each other—and their closest friends—for the chance at something more?
