Meet Cassie:
As a single mom and an introvert, I’m used to spending Friday nights on the couch in my sweats. Trust me, my alone time is necessary for everyone’s well-being. So imagine my surprise when my late husband’s best friend crashes my Hugh Grant movie marathon. Especially when he shows up to give me a letter with some of Will’s last words for me.

Enter Brad:
I’d do anything for Cassie, but waiting three years to spill the beans about the letter nearly did me in. Keeping my mouth shut isn’t my strong suit, so I’m relieved to no longer have any secrets between us. But now Cassie’s avoiding me like I’ve got the cooties, which makes me wonder what Will asked of her. If it’s anything like the letter he left for me, our lives are about to take an unexpected turn.

More From Cassie:
I can understand Will wanting me to date again, but why he asked me to practice with Brad is crazier than shoulder pads making a comeback! We work as well together as oil and water or peanut butter and mayo. There’s also the fact that Brad’s an actual movie star. He lives in a fish bowl, while I prefer to live under a rock. We’d be the oddest couple you’ve ever seen, more like Bill and Ted, not Ginger and Fred.
