Scarlett Davis and Colson Young have been friends since childhood but the lost of Scarlett's best friend and Cole's sister Alex and his father made them as close as you can be. Scarlett is about to marry her boyfriend but a revelation by her own sister, sends her into a tail spin of confusion.

A little kiss that ended badly shut all doors on her feelings for Cole when they were teenagers. Now adults, Scarlett is starting to think those feelings aren't as buried as she once thought. Intending to be the one to give her away, Scarlett isn't so sure she wants Cole to ever let go.

Losing his father and sister in a blink changed Cole. He holds those dear to him close and Scarlett, who glued him back together, he holds the closest. He can never lose her, which has stopped him from ever taking the next step with her. Now, she's asking all the right questions and he keeps coming up with all the wrong answers.

Soon she'll be in a white dress, but who will she marry?
