When Addison ‘Roe’ Monroe tells me she’s going on a husband hunt at the local lumberjack competition so she can inherit her father’s lumberyard, desperate times call for desperate measures. She’s sworn off romance. Says she’s been through enough tragedy. So I offer myself as an alternative, ‘cause that’s what best friends are for. But my stubborn friend, who would rather drive a forklift than get her nails done, refuses to accept my help and now I find myself training to become a lumberjack. I refuse to let Roe hitch her wagon to some hulking ax wielder who might be a serial killer. She means too much to me. And I swear there are moments where she looks at me like I mean something more to her, too. On the surface, I’m offering a marriage of convenience to protect her. But the truth is...I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend. So if I have to marry her and move her up to Fletcher Mountain just to see if she could love me back, so be it. Because my only regret would be losing her forever, and that’s a fact.
