Lauren Snow refused to believe in love. The past heartbreak and loneliness does not help it either. Plus the surrounding around her that state even more that there's no point in believing in it.
She thinks that love is temporary and selfish. Afraid of falling and breaking apart, she chose to close herself and let her guards high. The reason is no other than to avoid falling back in love with someone like Dane Steiner.
--
But just as she moved on and became her loveless self, Dane starting to see her in the picture.
Will she let her guards down, dust off her dusty heart and finally took a spin? Or will she stay the same as her loveless, granite self?

I'm marrying his best friend.Complete
