For thirteen years, Ava has seen Leo as her brilliant, handsome, and completely off-limits "little brother." He's the one she protects, the one she confides in, and the one she can always count on.
What she doesn't know? He's been in love with her the entire time.
After 55 failed confessions that Ava has either laughed off or completely forgotten, Leo decides enough is enough. He's 27, she's 30, and he's done waiting in the friend-zone-or rather, the "brother-zone." His 56th attempt isn't a shy question, but a bold, stolen kiss that finally shatters her oblivious world.
When a cleverly orchestrated social event sparks a powerful pang of jealousy Ava can't ignore, she's forced to confront the truth: maybe the perfect man for her has been chasing her all along.
A heartwarming and hilarious story of a man's unwavering devotion, a woman's slow-burn realization, and a love that was always meant to be. Will his final, masterfully planned confession be the one that captures her heart for good?
