What happens when a chance encounter at the city's hottest book bar and café sparks a love that changes everything?
Meeting Tre was the last thing Diamond expected. Especially at a time like this.
She's on the brink of divorcing her husband, her career is stalled, and she's clearly the family's latest and biggest disappointment.
Diamond isn't prepared for the genuine warmth Tre exudes or the immediate compassion and understanding he shows when she needs it most.
But Tre, a musically gifted single father and mechanic, is in a two-year relationship that's crushing his soul. Longing for a true connection, he's simply going through the motions as he reaches for his dreams. But after meeting Diamond, he can't settle for good enough anymore. He craves something more.
And so does she.
But when Diamond finally gets the courage to tell her husband she wants a divorce, he proposes a deceptive plan to keep Diamond close enough to lure her back into his arms. Keep up the happy married couple charade for the sake of business and his family. For five more events. And then she's free. At least, that's what Don wants her to think.
And there's one major stipulation: she can't date anyone else, or the deal is null and void.
Torn between financial security and the magnetic pull of Tre's charm, Diamond agrees to fake date her husband to keep up appearances, and to ensure that they'll split the marital assets equally without the drama in court.
But the more they hang out as friends, the harder it becomes to deny what's happening. Before long, they can't keep the truth from spilling out into each of their realities. As their worlds begin to collide and secrets unravel, Diamond and Tre must confront the obstacles standing in the way of their happiness.
With betrayal lurking at every turn and past mistakes threatening to tear them apart, can they find the courage to fight for what they want – each other – and build a future they both long for?
