Having been friends since they were very young, they’ve shared almost everything. As single men, they’ve had their share of adventures together without any complaints from the woman lucky enough to be their focus, even if it was only for a short time. When Wes and Max met Damaris, a co-worker of their new sister-in-law, they tried to resist their instant attraction. It wouldn’t do to hurt the relationship they were building with Quinn’s new wife by pursuing her best friend. Instead, they studied her from afar and wondered what their lives would be like with her in it until a weekend far away from home presented them with a chance that would change their lives in ways they never even imagined. Single and childless by choice, Damaris is ready to make some major life changes. It’s time to settle down in her forever home and maybe even buy a dog for some companionship. As rudimentary as that may seem to most, it’s quite a step for her. After raising her younger brothers and sisters in their mom’s absence, Damaris has had her fill of being responsible for another human being. That aversion kept her from committing to a man she’d have to wake up next to for the rest of her life. One weekend with the two handsome men she’d had her eye on for months will change Damaris’ outlook on everything. They’ve got so much in common that falling in love with them is almost as easy as a walk in the park. Now she’s found herself seeking out reasons to keep Wes and Max by her side instead of making her way alone. She’s on a new path even if it goes against everything she thought she knew about herself. When the life they’re building implodes, will they be able to stick together or will they let something that’s out of their control pull them apart? Join Cee Bowerman in Marlboro, getting to know the ins and outs of this unique relationship between one woman and two best friends who are more than content to share everything, including her, for the rest of their lives.
