I have seven days and fifteen dates with different people to find my perfect guy—and to not fall for my best friend again.

Max Peyton is everything I want in a future husband: fun, kind, and just the right mix of responsible and adventurous. Plus, he’s my best friend. He feels like comfort and acceptance and home, all wrapped into one.

But I absolutely cannot fall for him.

A year ago, when I almost (accidentally!) kissed him, he said he loved me like a sister. A sister. So, yeah, friend zone it is. Besides, Max doesn’t want to get married to anyone. Ever. And I very much do.

Instead, I come up with a plan to find my perfect man. Max and I both need dates for a wedding, and I talk him into a competition to see which of us can go on the most dates, each with a different person, all within one week.

It’s a brilliant plan, I’m sure of it. Seven days and we’ll both have perfect wedding dates and be on our way to happily ever afters. My plan is practically foolproof.

Unless, of course, the only person I want to choose at the end… is him.
