Gracefully Yours by Jennifer Chipman

Six years ago, I agreed to a marriage pact with my best friend, not thinking we’d ever actually use it. Until the day comes when he asks me, and I say… yes.

Over the last two years, I watched all of my best friends fall in love. Something I wanted more than anything—a partner, a family, a baby. My heart ached for my own fairytale ending, like in all of the romance novels I read. But despite all of my attempts at a happily-ever-after, I was still the one who was alone. So I agreed to my best friend’s proposal, which lead me to wonder…
Had the perfect man I had been looking for been right by my side all along?

The day she’d first walked into my life, I knew I never wanted her to leave it. I lived for her smiles, her laugh, and being her best friend, well—that was enough. It had to be, because there was no way I was going to risk losing her. At twenty-two, I had stupidly proposed a marriage pact. If neither one of us had met anyone by the time we were thirty, we’d get married. Except, the older we both got, the more I knew I didn’t want to wait. I didn’t want to risk her meeting someone else. Falling in love with someone else. Because Charlotte—she was mine. She always had been.
And our love was worth fighting for.
