"Don't make promises you don't intend to keep." Even at age 16, Malcolm Huntington knew his childhood best friend, Lila Chen, was his end game. So making a pact to marry his first and only love when he turned 30 was the easiest promise to keep. Except for Lila, the pact was easy to make and just as easy to forget, believing her best friend could never let her down. She just didn't expect life to distract her with a penchant for solving crimes and falling for someone who wasn't Malcolm. Despite drifting apart over the years, Malcolm kept an eye on Lila from the background until surprising circumstances pushes him toward her side once again. Even with his heart on the line, Malcolm won't hesitate to fight for her and show her the love she deserves.
