"“Hello? Who's this?” I asked.
“Seriously, Vareen? You didn't invite us?” Jayce's familiar voice came through the phone.
I laughed. “Invite you to what?”
“Don't pretend you don't know. Oliver and I heard everything.”
“Everything about what?”
“You'll find out when we get there.”
Before I could ask another question, Jayce ended the call.
I stared at my phone.
What were those two planning now?
—
In a city filled with popular places, Vareen has managed to make her restaurant, Carmelita's, one of the most talked-about destinations around.
Building the restaurant has taken years of determination, and Vareen is proud of the independent life she has created.
Then Jayce and Oliver appear.
Confident, charming, and completely different from each other, the two friends quickly become impossible to ignore.
What begins as a chance meeting soon develops into an unusual friendship. Jayce constantly challenges Vareen with his unpredictable personality, while Oliver has a quieter way of understanding things she rarely shares with anyone.
Before long, both men become important parts of her everyday life.
But balancing friendship, work, and complicated emotions isn't easy.
As misunderstandings grow and hidden feelings begin to surface, Vareen realizes that Jayce and Oliver may want very different things from her—and from each other.
Now she must decide what these unexpected connections truly mean without risking the restaurant, friendships, and carefully built life she values most.
Three people.
Two very different friendships.
And one complicated situation that could change all of their lives."
