Rule No. 4: Don't sleep with your best friend's brother. Finn’s my best friend’s brother and co-worker. He doesn’t believe in love and I’m a hopeless romantic. We clash about everything except our undeniable attraction to each other. After one hot night on a hotel rooftop, we agree to a no-strings-attached fling. The only problem is our boss has this rule against co-workers dating. As the newest wedding planner, I can’t afford to lose my job, and unlike Finn, I don’t have a trust fund to depend on. But each day, I fall more for him and his little girl. I want to show him that anything’s possible, even a forever kind of love. But when everything comes crashing down, will I lose my chance at love?

This is Aria and Finn's story. It's a story of taking the circumstances that you were born with (the family that you were born into) and realizing that isn't where you have to stay. Yes, they are a part of you, but they don't have to always be all of you. Aria was born to parents who loved each other and loved their children but didn't have much material means. She has always felt less than because she grew up in a trailer park. Now that she is out on her own, she is taking care of herself and also still giving money and groceries to them as well. She's doing for herself while also taking care of them. She is living in a bad neighborhood and driving an unreliable car because she is doing all of that. She also is putting off going to college herself so that her younger sister can go (sister is 22, I think, why isn't she working and helping too?).
Finn, on the other hand, grew up with money but no family stability. His parents have been married a combined total of 9 times. Tons of stepparents and siblings and he doesn't believe that true love exists. But as he gets to know Aria because they work together and she babysits for him, the more he sees that maybe he does know because it comes from caring for someone else and wanting them to be happy. He finds himself wanting to do things for her to keep her safe and cared for (he's a good man, just jaded by the relationships that he witnessed growing up). He and Aria have one hot night together and start a relationship, but it's also forbidden because there are rules from their employer about not hooking up. It doesn't matter if Finn loses his wedding gigs playing guitar, but for Aria it's everything. When everything comes out, will Finn just drop Aria or will he step up and show her that he's learned something in their time together? I don't want to give too much away, but you know I don't usually read it unless there is a happily ever after.
