Love is a messy kind of art.

Post grad doesn't always go as planned. For Josalee, David, Ingrid, and Victor, the line between loyalty and fragility is blurred. Josalee wasn't supposed to fall in love with her gay best friend David-and she definitely didn't mean to have a one-night stand with him. Before she can separate her feelings from reality, they each discover a secret so big, it could kill them both. Ingrid can't seem to hold down a job. When she loses her second position in five months, she is stripped of more than just financial security. Even worse, she has no idea that her boyfriend Victor has been unfaithful-more than once. When a crushing loss and the economy threaten everything the four friends have worked for, they must fight for their own kind of happily ever after. AUTHOR'S NOTE: The following is an excerpt.
