If I want to get married and also have a family (and I really do), it’s period for a plan!!

-from Hallie McCarthy’s diary

The alarm on Hallie’s biological clock is humming away. She’s hitting the big three-0 and there is no potential customer of marriage, no man in sight. But Hallie’s an structured, goal-setting kind of person. She gives herself a 12 months to meet up Mr. Knight in Shining Armor. But all her dates are disasters. (There’s the cheapskate and the sex fiend and…well, hardly ever mind.)

Too bad she can’t simply fall on her behalf good-looking neighbor, Steve Marris. He’s not at all her type. Anyhow, Steve’s busy endeavoring to win back his ex-wife, Mary Lynn, who’s active getting married-but not to Steve. Lifestyle would be so easier if he could fall for someone else. Like…Hallie.

They’re close friends, though-and sometimes friends become lovers. Sometimes friends become even more….
