Love ranked somewhere next to eating competitions and diving in underwater caves on Lily Thomas' list of life goals. She spent six years performing pirouettes and pliés to rise through the ranks of the New York City Ballet Theater, leaving love behind. But now that Blaine Baker - Lily's old love - is finally free, she forgets about her rules without much thought. The reality with Blaine is not as incredible as she imagined in her fantasies, and the revealed truth sends her straight into the hands of a man whom she even didn't know she wanted to. West Williams had been Lily's friend since she moved into their house, and he saved her closet from sudden death on the stairs. Their friendship was always casual, but with clear boundaries. Not wanting to jeopardize their relationship, they lived happily for several years as friends, and never thought about more. That was until they finally did it. And awareness changed everything.
