What an interesting approach...!
Throughout most of the book, our heroine (Zoe) is engaged to be married to our hero's tortured brother. That's what youthful flirtation and reckless experimentation with heavy petting gets a young lady who should know better!
As the story progresses, it becomes more and more apparent that the engagement was a mistake on both sides. Robin (the brother and Zoe's best friend) grows more miserable and difficult with each passing day as Zoe plots to escape the entire situation. Meanwhile, because of an abundance of honor, our hero (Stuart) takes FAR too long to figure out his own feelings and even longer to make his feelings known.
Of course, there is a sweet little sideline romance for the jilted brother (Robin) who gets his own happy ending.
