Chloe Harper has a plan.
It just involves stopping a wedding.
Ten years ago, during a booze-soaked night in med school, Chloe and her best friend James Carter made a pact. Born on the same day and convinced it meant something, they swore that if they were both still single at thirty-seven, they would marry each other. Simple. Foolproof. Slightly desperate?
Now it's their thirty-seventh birthday, and Chloe is finally ready to cash in.
There's just one problem.
James doesn't remember the pact... and he just got engaged to a woman he met only one month ago, Bianca Blake. Polished, perfect, effortlessly put together. The kind of woman with sleek blonde hair who somehow makes even ordering coffee look elegant. The exact opposite of Chloe, with her chaotic trauma surgeon shifts, sharp tongue, and fire-engine red curls.
Oh, and the wedding is in a couple of weeks.
Which means Chloe has only days to stop James from making the biggest mistake of his life.
Enter Dr. Wes Monroe, Chloe's infuriatingly cocky and devastatingly attractive coworker who somehow always shows up at the worst possible moment. When a desperate lie turns into a fake relationship, Chloe enlists Wes to help make James jealous. What could possibly go wrong?
Except the chemistry with Wes is anything but fake.
And the closer the wedding gets, the harder it is to ignore one inconvenient truth: Chloe might not be trying to win James anymore.
She might be trying to let him go.
Maybe "meant to be" isn't about a pact you made ten years ago.
Maybe it's about the person you never saw coming.
