Kathleen spent three hidden years loving Alex, her brother’s best friend, while he kept her close but never chose her. After three failed proposals, she hears he’s about to propose to his intern, Isabella, and decides she’s done waiting. She agrees to marry Thorne, the dependable man her mother picked for her. But on the wedding day, Alex appears to halt the ceremony—only to discover too late that Kathleen has already let him go. What she finds with Thorne is honest and open; what Alex loses is everything he ignored.
