Sheila Galloway is always in trouble when it comes to love. Perhaps it is her penchant for picking the unavailable, the bad boy, the married man, or the guy who has no love for her because he loves himself far more. She longed to find that fabled "Nice Guy". Perhaps that's why she kept throwing herself at Christian Orloff. Christian has come back to his home city of Philadelphia for his best friend's wedding. Never in a million years would he believe he'd bump into Sheila Galloway. Oh, how he loved her in college and oh how she loved James his best friend. However, it would seem she changed her mind and was giving him a chance, a chance at love. Only Christian isn't exactly free and knows he shouldn't be pursuing anyone at this time, but he can't help himself when it comes to Sheila. He let her go once. He won't make that mistake again.
