I stumbled into the Bermuda Triangle of romance where my best friend became my back-up guy as well as my client-and then I went and fell for him.

Smart, huh? Super smart. Just like all my dating decisions. Seriously, I'm the reigning champ of epic romance fails. I've had more dating misfires than there are petals on a dozen red roses. Ever counted them? There's a lot. I'm pretty sure the dating scene has a vendetta against me.

So, after a marathon of heartbreaks, I do the sensible thing: I strike a deal with my partner-in-crime and best friend, Asher. We pinky swear that if we're still single at the grand age of 35, we're hitching our wagons together.

That gives me five years of hunting for that elusive Mr. Right. I mean, I have to find The One by then, right?

But here's where the chaos amps up. I land a gig decorating Asher's bachelor pad, only to realize he's not the Asher I painted in my head. He's...more. If that's even possible.

Surprise, surprise, I find myself falling for my best friend and I get to thinking that maybe, just maybe, my backup guy could really be the leading man I've been chasing. Even if he still only sees me as a friend.

Cue the dramatic twist: Asher has a secret that's about to throw a grenade into my fairy tale.

Because why settle for a smooth, easy ride when you can hop on a a crazy roller coaster instead?
