One woman. One case of self-denial. One hunky best friend who wants a lot more.

Watching the man she thought she'd marry tie the knot to someone else spurs small-town waitress, Mandy Mattson, to finally pursue her dreams of opening her own restaurant.

But she can't do it alone. . .

Mandy's going to need the help of her sexy, long-time best friend, Frankie Smith. He has everything she needs--and more. She fell for him years ago, but has never allowed their friendship to evolve into something beyond platonic. After all, he's "Frankie fall-off-the-tower Smith," and she has no intention of giving her heart to a dare devil like him.

But what happens when Frankie asks Mandy to take the biggest dare of all? Will she finally lose her heart to her best friend?
