An Inconvenient Lover

When Anastasia's fiancé's best friend, David, returns to Seattle after years of living overseas, her nice, stable, orderly life is turned upside down. In denial about her own nature and the truth about her parents' notorious and flamboyant marriage, Anastasia shuts down her attraction toward David. It would be too inconvenient to like him.

Even though digging up her family history will cause pain, David is determined to coax Anastasia's true nature out of dormancy. But if Anastasia reverts to her real character, marriage to Hugh will become impossible, and David's best friend will be hurt. And if David doesn't succeed in setting Anastasia's soul free, he will lose his own chance at winning her heart.
