Alex Ford and Cleo O’Shea are an unlikely pair. Cleo’s “poor little rich girl” routine makes Alex groan, and Cleo can’t get why Alex has to take everything so seriously. Cleo’s looking for love, but Alex has a secret he’s not ready to give up, and a flirtation with Cleo is the last thing on his mind. But you can’t find romance before you know real friendship, and sometimes the last person you’d ever think of as a friend ends up being the one you need the most.
