Let's get one thing straight, marriage is fine for some women, but it's got nothing to do with me.

If you knew the truth about my past, believe me, you'd understand. But hey, I'm not complaining. I've got a good job. Great friends. When I need a little something in the man department, well... I've never had trouble getting that when I want it either.

Then Jack has to come along and screw it all up.

I never saw it coming. I mean, we've been friends for six years. Six. Years. But in one moment... one gooseflesh-inducing, world tilting, alarming moment... it all starts to change.

Now this guy is giving me the butterflies, the sex dreams... the heartbreak. All of it.

Let me tell you something, the last thing I wanted was to fall in love.

I'm not happy about it either.

Not one damn bit.
