EASTON is the kind of guy everyone gravitates toward. He's charismatic, loyal, the golden retriever friend who makes everything feel lighter. But behind that easy charm is a darker side he keeps hidden, a side he refuses to show. After a situation involving his father leaves him with no choice, Easton finds himself needing to get married. In a moment of desperation, he turns to the one person he never expected, Nadine, his best friend's sister. It was supposed to be simple. Just an arrangement. But somewhere along the way, Easton starts to fall for her. Already carrying more than he lets on, he struggles with his feelings, pulling her close one moment and pushing her away the next, torn between crossing the line or holding on to the friendship. But how long can her heart keep waiting? NADINE is known to be the light in everyone's day, but what they fail to know is that her light dims when it comes to shining on herself. After too many heartbreaks, she's learned not to expect anything to last. So when Easton asks her to marry him, she tells herself it doesn't mean anything, just an arrangement, just something temporary. But the longer they pretend, the harder it becomes to ignore what's real. And just when things start to shift into something more, Nadine begins to pull back, afraid that if she lets herself believe in it, she'll only end up losing it. Will she let Easton reach for her heart or let him walk away.
