At twenty-nine, I thought I had it all figured out: a thriving interior design business, a cute London flat, and a foolproof marriage pact with my best friend, Asher. If neither of us finds The One by thirty-five, Asher and I will tie the knot. Simple, practical, and totally not romantic-just like us.

But when I land the job of transforming Asher's bachelor pad, I discover a side of him I never knew existed. Behind that easy American charm lies an adorably complex version of my best friend, and before long, my heart is skipping a beat every time he brings me my favorite tea.

There's just one problem: Asher still thinks I'm looking for my soulmate-and I'm starting to suspect he's been right in front of me all along.

Never Fall for Your Back-Up Guy is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with a smart and sassy British heroine and a swoony American hero. It's got all the swoon but none of the spice. It's the first book in the It's Complicated series and can easily be read as a standalone novel.
