If only Conn, her dearest friend, agreed with her.Connacht Garvey has been keeping an eye on Melanie since they were kids. A bit older, far more level-headed, and infinitely patient, Conn is used to pulling Melanie back from whatever cliff's edge she's about to wander off.

Yet.When Melanie impulsively starts up a new advice-giving business, it's an instant hit.

If anyone needs Melanie's help, it's Conn. Will Melanie and Conn's friendship be blown to bits because of Melanie's meddling...or will it become something more?
