With her brother’s wedding approaching, she sees an opportunity to expand her business and finally shed those last few (okay, more than a few) pounds she put on since chocolate and wine replaced her no-good boyfriend a year ago. But when her ex snags an invitation to the event, Melanie turns to her best friend to pose as her date.

All Melanie wants is the same promise she makes to her clients every day, but when professional and personal plans collide, she realizes that happy endings don’t all come in the same form, and that sometimes, the life you thought you wanted isn’t nearly as wonderful as the one you already have.
