Secrets are like fire, they either bring people together or burn them apart.
Georgia
As a teen, I spent countless hours fantasizing about marrying my older brother’s best friend. Well, that dream didn’t exactly go as planned. Now, I’m pregnant by my ex, and I’ve had to marry Brix, my childhood crush, just to avoid a family crisis. He may be my husband, but we aren’t together–he’s made that perfectly clear.
There are more important things on the line here than my heart. Yet, the man I'm playing house with has no idea that the thirteen-year-old girl inside me is kinda in love with him. Oh, who am I kidding, I’m still totally in love with him. This has disaster written all over it…
Brix
I’ve always been a guy who values loyalty above all else. That’s why I’ve completely blown up my life for the closest thing I’ve ever had to a real family. You see, my best friend and I have been inseparable since childhood. We even became FDNY firefighters together. His family is my family. So, when his little sister returned to the city pregnant and terrified of being on her own, I made an impulsive decision to step up and marry her.
What started as a marriage of convenience, has turned into something way more complicated than I ever could’ve imagined. Georgia’s no longer the annoying little girl I remember from childhood. She’s all grown up and has me questioning everything. Crossing that line could very well cost me my brother, but not crossing it, could cost me my heart.
Now, I’m faced with an impossible decision. Only one thing is certain: life as we know it will never be the same.
