Grace is just an insecure girl that is love with her sister's best friend, Aria. "In love with her is an understatement. Do you not notice the way her deep blue eyes sparkle when she smiles? Do you see it or is it just me? I would kill for just a kiss from her, but I don't see that ever happening." I begin to sob at the thought of maybe never having a future with the woman I'm in love with. "I'm sorry. I'm such a baby. Thank you for always listening to me." I smile as the words leave my lips and lay my head on my best friend, Michelle's shoulder. "No worries, sugar. I'm always here to listen." Love, love begins with her. Love should begin with Aria.

There are moments when you think life is going one way and a major curveball sends you the complete opposite direction. That's me, standing in the rain, wondering how things went so terribly wrong. What do I need? To hide at my brother's house to lick my wounds. What do I get? My brother's roommate, sexy-as-sin best friend, Carter Kennedy. The cute, adventurous boy who was my teenage crush. The inspiring, irresistible man who will never be mine. But then things get complicated with fun-filled days and pleasure-filled nights. If Carter wasn't the most commitment-phobic person I know, I could consider the cliché of dating my brother's best friend. But he will never fit the husband checklist I made to find the man who will be my world, and I'm not willing to compromise on that. At least, that's the plan.
