Book Overview

REMI DRAKE
I'm the king of Memphis nightlife. At under thirty, I own the hottest spots in town, and believe me, I enjoy every perk that comes with it. After a rough breakup from my high school sweetheart, serious relationships? Not for me.

Echo is my sister's friend—she used to be the designated ugly fat friend (D... UFF) in high school. Now, she's a cancer researcher with a PhD. She's no longer fat but curvy and sexy; and then there's that amazing brain of hers. Plus, she’s always had a thing for me.

One night, things get out of hand and I pitch the idea of an acquaintance-with-benefits relationship: no strings, no promises, and most importantly, no one can ever know. Just fun. Perfect, right? Except it isn't. Jealousy and old feelings twist our no-strings-fling into something complicated. When Echo decides she's had enough of my bullshit, I find I'm afraid to lose her just when I realize she might be the one.

ECHO DEVLIN
I've been the background friend, trailer trash, invisible. But those days are behind me, or so I thought. Now, I'm a cancer researcher at a top biotech company owned by Remi's father. I speak at conferences and seminars; I publish papers. A lot about me has changed except how I feel about Remi.

He was my secret love, the fantasy of a shy girl from the wrong side of the tracks. And one day all my dreams come true. Remi Drake noticed me. It's thrilling and terrifying. When Remi suggests a secret affair, it's crumbs I accept because I love him so much. But when I overhear him talk about me with his friends, it's obvious that to him, I'm still the DUFF. That's when I know it's time for me to move on. Remi is not the one for me no matter how much my heart and other skanky body parts say otherwise
