About this ebook

★★★★★ “Grey had me at the first film quote! This novella is smartly written, hysterically funny and has a romance too!” Essential Romance Book Club

Love 'em and Leave 'em Alice Kim and "Hot" Steve Lowell are perfect for each other. It'll only take them ten years to figure that out.

Just because they throw the most bodacious wedding party ever…

Just because they're perfect partners in pranksJust because they love all the same boss movies…

Just because they share one totally bangin' night of sex together…

Does not mean they'll break the One Time Rule.


Even if they do… they don't do relationships.

And they're never getting married.

Like, ever.

In this friends-to-lovers, marriage-pact novella spanning the last decade of the 20th century, life forces a playboy and a playgirl grow up—and grow apart—before giving them a chance to create a happy-ever-after they can actually be happy about.
