Full Synopsis
My best friend is basically my dream girl. Too bad I can't have her.

As a Marine who jumps out of perfectly good airplanes for fun, you could say I'm fine with taking risks. But not when it comes to Shelby.

For years, I've been firmly in the friend zone, right where she wants me. And since I won't risk our friendship, that's where I'll stay. But I can't pine over her forever.

When I propose to my girlfriend and get rejected in front of the whole town, the joke's on me. Turns out proposing to the wrong woman because you can't have the right one is a bad idea.

Shelby's always had my heart. Can I convince her to trust me with hers?
