If my life were a romance novel, I'd just be the hero's token best friend. The kind of girl guys hang out with until they fall in love with someone else. If my life were a romance novel, someone as gorgeous as Aidan Blackwood shouldn't even know I exist...so why have I caught him checking me out like I'm his next meal?
