Photographer Victor Anthony has one lifelong friend - Anton Bellamy - and one lifelong crush - Anton's big sister, Gillian. A romantic to the core, each pic he snaps of Gill sharpens his conviction that she's the key to finally having a family that sticks around.
She needs to fly free.
In the year her three best friends will all wed, Gillian Bellamy takes her own vow: to put herself first. Her family life and a career in academia have taught her that no one else ever will. But when her friends learn about their college hookup, they pester Gill to give Vic a second chance.
Will his dreams stop her from soaring?
Gill doesn't want to be the raven-haired, razor-witted cake topper of Vic's dreams. Her relationship terms are all short-term, while his heart-eyes are looking for permanent ties. And she can't trust that he'd ever have focused on her if she wasn't his best friend's sister. Can Vic nudge past her cynicism to show her a future they both can love?
