When your best friend asks you to be her man of honor for her wedding, you say yes—even if it means battling her future mother-in-law and watching the woman you're secretly falling for marry someone else. As the wedding planning chaos unfolds, the narrator finds himself noticing everything about Lia: the way she laughs, how she looks in the morning light, the feeling of her sleeping in his bed. But with her engagement looming and his feelings growing impossible to ignore, he's faced with an agonizing choice: confess his love and risk their friendship, or watch her walk down the aisle toward a future without him. It's a hilarious, steamy, and utterly charming take on the age-old question—what happens when your soulmate is standing right beside you the whole time?
