PrintIf there’s one thing that Bridgette Reynolds has learned recently, it’s that the perfect shoes, the perfect hair, and the perfect dress do not make for the perfect proposal. In fact, sometimes they make for the not-so-perfect breakup.

Now, Bridgette must do everything in her power to win Adam back. She knows they are meant to be. And nothing will stand in her way—not her friends, not her grandmother, not even the fact that Adam is now engaged to Serene after a whirlwind romance.

Focused on her plan to win Adam back, Bridgette isn’t expecting Ian—her college best friend, her love, her big regret—to come back into her life. They sink back into their comfortable friendship as if no time has passed at all, making Bridgette start to question her feelings for Adam. But Ian has a few secrets of his own . . . secrets that could shatter their friendship once and for all.

Bridgette has to make some major decisions—should she speak now? Or forever hold her peace?

“Would you shut up, Justin?” Ashley whacks his arm with the back of her hand.



We’re sitting in our favorite cafĂ© after working a luncheon. We spend more time together here than any other place. It’s simple, nothing fancy, has pretty decent food, and open late, which is perfect for our work schedules. We’re not on a first-name basis with the staff, but they recognize us.


“It’s fine.” I let out a sigh. “We can talk about it. I’m good.” I swirl a french fry in some ketchup and shove it in my mouth.


I look up to see Ashley giving me a look that says she doesn’t believe I’m fine. I honestly am. I didn’t even nibble on my bottom lip when I said it, so it has to be true.


“No, but seriously, Ash, you should have seen that place. It was like something out of a magazine,” Justin continues, obviously not caring whether it bothers me or not.


The Dubois family condo was featured in New York Spaces a while back, but I’m not going to tell them that.


“I’ve gotta find myself a rich girl.” Justin leans his head back against the booth.


“Oh geez,” Ashley says, rolling her eyes at him. “And why would a rich girl want you?”


“Hey, I’ve got a lot to offer.” He holds up a skinny arm, flexing it to show off his muscles, which, in-fact, are quite toned, but definitely lacking in girth.


Ashley and I look at each other and then burst out laughing.


“Whatever, you guys. You’ll see; I’ll show you.”


“Yes, you just showed us, and we were not so impressed.” Ashley smirks at him.


“Well, maybe I have more going on than meets the eye.” He smirks back and adds a wink.


“Ew.” Ashley scrunches her face, looking repulsed.
