Before you get down on bended knee…
…you should be pretty darn sure the answer will be yes. For ten years, Connor O'Rourke has been waiting for Jessica Dunn to take their on-again, off-again relationship public, and he thinks the time has come. His restaurant is thriving, she's got her dream job at Blue Heron Vineyard—it's the perfect time to get married.
When he pops the question, however, her answer is a fond but firm no. If it ain't broke, why fix it? Jess has her hands full with her younger brother, who's now living with her full-time, and a great career after years of waitressing. What she and Connor have is perfect: friends with an excellent benefits package. Besides, with her difficult past (and reputation), she's positive married life isn't for her.
But this time, Connor says it's all or nothing. If she doesn't want to marry him, he'll find someone who does. Easier said than done, given that he's never loved anyone but her. And maybe Jessica isn't quite as sure as she thinks…

Tidak ada perempuan lain yang dicintai Connor O'Roarke selain Jessica Dunn. Sejak berumur 12 tahun hingga sekarang ia berumur tiga puluhan. Hubungan mereka juga tidak pernah mulus. Selama sepuluh tahun sejak pertama kali mulai berhubungan mereka sudah putus sambung hingga empat kali.
Dan ketika Connor akhirnya melamar Jess kemudian ditolak, Connor memutuskan itulah terakhir kalinya Jess mengakhiri hubungan mereka. Connor akan mencari perempuan lain yang tidak memiliki beban seperti Jess dan yang menjadikan Connor sebagai salah satu prioritas dalam hidupnya.
“I can’t keep doing this. You’ve been leaving me for the better part of a decade, Jessica. You leave me. It’s what you do. And here we are again, right? In a month or two, or three or five, you’ll break up with me. Something will come up. Something big. I’m not saying you’ve ever done anything shallow. And I’ll be right back here again. And I want...more.”
