Which is why, when her long-time partner proposes, she panics. Suddenly Harriet is single... and living down the hall from her ex. She needs a new apartment, like, yesterday.Enter Cal Clarke, a hopeless romantic who just experienced his own wedding-related disaster.

With her career, friendships, and reputation on the line, Harriet must finally face her past in order to take control of her future.
