Billionaire next-door neighbors Mary Alice Howe and Ryland Neilson have mothers who are lifelong best friends, but throwing their children together for everything from Camelot Cruise birthday parties to cotillion classes has ensured a close friendship, not the hoped-for romance.
As a new CEO, Ryland takes a risk that just might ruin the company. Taking a chance on a romantic relationship with his best friend Mary Alice seems even more foolish. Unsure what she wants to do with her career and her relationship with pro soccer player Camden Sharpe, adding new and thrilling feelings for her best friend causes Mary Alice’s world to spin upside-down.
When a personal ad brings the two together, they realize they don’t actually know everything about each other. Is it better to stay in the safety of the friend-zone or jump down the rabbit hole of the unknown and risk everything for love?
Inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
