"One brother hates her. The other is intrigued by her."
About
Everyone knows family friends are supposed to feel like family—not enemies. So when you're pulled into a car by the one woman who's never liked you, you expect another lecture. Instead, she gives you an impossible ultimatum: before her birthday, you must choose one of her two sons to marry. Andrew—better known as Drew—can barely stand the sight of you. Cold, guarded, and determined to never get to know you. Jacob, on the other hand, is surprisingly open to the arrangement. Charming, easygoing, and endlessly curious on how this arrangement will go. One brother wants nothing to do with you. The other is willing to see how this will turn out. Caught between years of resentment, unexpected attraction, and family secrets that were never meant to surface, you'll have to decide if love can really grow from a choice that was never yours to make.

Intro
One minute, I'm minding my own business. The next, I'm shoved into the back of a black SUV by the one woman who's spent years making it painfully obvious she can't stand me. Instead of kicking me out of her life forever—which honestly would've been a dream—she gives me the most ridiculous ultimatum I've ever heard. Marry one of her sons before her birthday.
Simple, right?
Except one of them looks at me like I'm the biggest mistake he's ever seen. And the other...
Well, the other smiles like he's already won.
If this is fate, it has an awful sense of humor.*
