Shy and introverted Elsie Evans has always preferred the safety of her singleness to the unpredictability of romance. But when her best friend Priscilla learns about her dreams of finding the perfect man, she decides to play matchmaker, unaware of Elsie's true fears about love.

Priscilla notes Elsie's whimsical description of her 'dream guy' and determines to find him. And find him she does! Trevor Myerson fits the bill perfectly.

But as he spends time with Elsie, he discovers a connection he never anticipated, igniting feelings he can't ignore.

When Elsie uncovers the truth behind their seemingly serendipitous first date, she's left reeling. Betrayed by her best friend and caught in a love that feels like deception, Elsie must confront her fears and make a choice: walk away from the budding romance with Trevor, or fight for a love that could change her life.
