She’s engaged to a man with a promising future. But even as she makes plans to say “I do,” another man is hoping that she won’t….

It wasn't easy for Lacy Jordan to watch her best friends get paired off one by one, while she was still single and toiling away at a low-paying job.

But Daniel's reluctance to accept her love—and everything that comes with it—means he's the one who needs an adjustment, before both of their hearts are shattered.
