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. Back in town to take over his retiring father’s medical practice, Jason Sawyer is sweet, smart, and reliable. He’s also been in love with Melanie since they were kids—not that she ever noticed. Now, with a second chance within reach, he has to decide if he will admit his feelings or move on for good.
