Ever sent your brother’s best friend a video expressing your undying love for him? While hopped up on pain meds?
No? Just me then?
Once I knew this girl who sent a video of herself to her brother’s best friend… while she was hopped up on pain meds. And he didn’t reciprocate her feelings.
Sounds like a hilarious story, right? WRONG. This really happened… to ME, Melanie Taylor.
I’m walking the straight and narrow (AKA dateless and lonely) just fine. Until my best friend (the woman I’ve been pining over since college) gets her heart broken.
How can I say no to those big, gorgeous blue eyes when she asks me to fly to Vermont to attend her sister’s wedding with her? As her fake boyfriend.
Yeah, all bets are off. (Don’t tell my brother).
All I had to do in order to win was something unpredictable. (Which my brother thought was impossible for the ever-boring David Windell).
Well, I showed him… by booking a trek in the Andes Mountains to see Machu Picchu.
When the brochure for the expedition mysteriously appeared on my front porch, it was like fate interceded: I could win the bet while simultaneously getting a vacation from my irritating neighbor.
Two birds, one stone.
Except, it turns out that was Isabella’s brochure… and she booked the same trip.
Dr. Drew Reed, my father’s coworker, informs me his basement (turned income-property) is available for rent. And he also needs a part time nanny. Lucky for him, I can do both!
But living in such close-proximity, seeing him in those dang sexy surgical scrubs, and watching him with our girls… is making my heart thaw in ways I never expected.
But am I ready to love again?
