Not many people can say they have been almost married five times. Bay Astor is one of those rare people. She is not a slut. She doesn’t “get around.” She just doesn’t know what she wants and can’t say no to those who do. Until the “forever hold your peace,” then she runs. Who wouldn’t? Forever is a long time. Laura, Bay’s friend, has only been married one time but has watched Bay run away from all five grooms. After carefully analyzing her male friends Laura picks Alexander O’Connor, the biggest bachelor in New York City and comes up with a clever plan to put the two together in an irresistible way. According to Laura’s husband, Allan, Alexander is the same as all the other suitors. But, of course, he is wrong because: women know, they just know; even if they didn’t know they would still know. Men probably won’t get this, but women will, because they know.

But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together.

I'm marrying his best friend.Complete
