Lincoln has a perfect plan to protect his heart—and rule number one is: don't fall in love. There's no such thing as happily ever after, especially when it comes to love. But he didn't factor in Josie, his sister's quirky, gorgeous best friend. He agrees to help her, with the understanding that they're definitely not going to be anything more.
