Bristol Montgomery and Marcus Stearn have been best friends for as long as anyone can remember. Despite what others thing—they've only ever been friends.

They share a promise to never to fall for one another.

No heated looks.

No accidental kisses.

And no jealousy over other partners.

The problem? Years ago, they promised each other that if neither of them was married by the time Bristol turned thirty, they'd marry each other.

Even though both have long since decided never to force the other into an arranged marriage, circumstances and sheer stubbornness force them to refuse to back out of their deal.

Now, they're determined to get married—even as dangerous exes and feelings they deny, block their path.
