Best friends don’t get married.

Jason Downing enjoys his role as protector and good-natured torturer of his prickly childhood best friend, Sophia.

They have an uncomplicated relationship with clearly drawn lines that are never crossed.

Until a near-death experience forces him to re-examine his life. Now he is struggling with uncomfortable feelings: a battle with PTSD, a yearning to know Jesus . . . and a love for Sophia that’s been quietly blooming.

Unless it’s for convenience.

As the daughter of a housekeeper, Sophia Velasquez grew up with one goal: Never again be poor. To secure a vote for CEO and her financial future, Sophia accepts a marriage proposal from the man she’s always been in love with, but who doesn’t love her back.

That turns to love.

Jason and Sophia find themselves on a friends-to-love, marriage-of-convenience journey that will change their outlook on faith, life, and each other. Can they surrender what was to embrace the promise of what could be?
