The Designated Friend

BraxtonI've always been the designated friend to Hadley Dawson, and I'd do myself good to remember that. Heck, I'm only on this road trip because she broke up with her boyfriend.But can I confess something?I'm in love with my best friend, and I have been for twenty years.This romantic road trip to her friend's destination wedding is the perfect opportunity to make my best friend see me as more than her loyal Labrador and more like the type of lover she swoons over in those romantic suspense books she likes to read.HadleyI thought I'd found the one, then he cheated. So now I'm stuck going to a southern wedding ALONE, which is taboo in my culture.Unless...I ask my best friend, whom I'm very much attracted to but definitely do not deserve, to go along with me. I mean, he's never said no to being my stand-in date before.The problem? I planned this road trip to Virginia for a couple, which means one-bedroom hotels, romantic cabins, and don't even get me started on the activities.Oh heavens, I'm toast.The Designated Friend is a sweet best friends to lovers road trip romantic comedy that is full of sizzle without the burn.
