Forced together, the friendship they've always relied on begins to blur into something neither of them expected. Seth can't understand why he's suddenly noticing every smile, every touch, every moment alone with Lauren. And Lauren knows giving in would mean risking the one relationship she can't bear to lose.

Their families have spent years insisting they'd make the perfect couple. They're determined to prove everyone wrong.

A romantic wedding weekend has other plans.

Now two lifelong best friends must decide if they're willing to gamble everything for the one thing they've never admitted they wanted: each other.
