Fallyn Mitchell's perfect life begins to unravel at the seams piece by piece. As life shows her not everything is within her control, she finds solace in her best friend, Stax. For the last ten years, Stax has been the one constant in Fallyn's life that has been unchanging. When he finally meets the perfect woman for him romantically, Fallyn's feelings for him start to come to the surface, and she has to choose between keeping her friendship intact or risking it for a romantic relationship that Stax may not even want. Stax Tate gets everything he wants and needs from a woman in his best friend ... except sex. Most women expect more than what he's willing to give, so when he meets Paige, Stax believes he's finally met his match. The joy Stax thought would come with having the perfect woman is buried under his true feelings for his best friend. No matter how much Stax tells himself he doesn't deserve a woman like Fallyn, that doesn't keep his heart and body from craving her. Stax and Fallyn are alike where it counts and different where it matters most. Two things they have in common are their fear of rejection and belief that the other doesn't return their romantic feelings. Will one of them find the courage to speak up, or will Stax's relationship with Paige lead to a permanent engagement that will keep the best friends from experiencing love forever?
