Lori has been in love with her best friend Aiden since college. Now Aiden (handsome, fair, All-American dream doctor) is getting married, and Lori desperately needs a date to the wedding. So she asks the best man, Jace (tall, dark, and brooding), to pretend their platonic friendship is something more not to have to face the worst day of her life alone. Fake dating one best friend to forget the other should be easy… Plot twist—it’s not. When Jace starts acting like the sweetest, most attentive boyfriend, Lori begins to wonder if she’s been seeing him wrong all this time?

When Josie gets trapped overnight in an elevator with Rian Phoenix—global rock legend—she figures it'll be a funny story to tell, not a plot twist with heartache written all over it. Only, the real Rian isn't the bad boy the headlines describe. He is witty, kind, and unexpectedly swoon-worthy. A year later, Josie's steady again—until she's reassigned as Rian's PR manager. Back in his orbit, she must keep things professional to protect her job—and avoid falling for him all over again. But Rian hasn't forgotten her.
