Serena Vale didn't mean to become the other woman.
She didn't even know she was.
What was meant to be something casual shatters the moment Serena learns the truth -she was never Sam's to begin with.
Worse? Sam's girlfriend is Serena's co-worker, Ari Fray...who now hates her. Ari sees Serena as the reason her relationship fell apart...and Serena can't blame her.
Yet somewhere between the anger and hatred, something shifts.
And when lines start to blur and something more between the two women starts to build, Serena and Ari are forced to face a truth neither of them wants to admit:
The one person they should never fall for might be the only one who truly understands them.

Between demanding guests, last-minute weddings, and her spirited four-year-old niece she's helping raise, Lena's got zero time for distractions-especially not the high-heeled, high-maintenance kind.
