This Matter of Marriage

If I want to get married and have a family (and I do), it's time for a plan!! 

€"from Hallie McCarthy's diary  

 

The alarm on Hallie's biological clock is buzzing away. She's hitting the big three-0 and there's no prospect of marriage, no man in sight. But Hallie's an organized, goal-setting kind of person. She gives herself a year to meet Mr. Knight in Shining Armor. But all her dates are disasters. (There's the cheapskate and the sex fiend and€¦well, never mind.) 

 

Too bad she can't just fall for her good-looking neighbor, Steve Marris. He's definitely not her type. Anyway, Steve's busy trying to win back his ex-wife, Mary Lynn, who's busy getting married€"but not to Steve. Life would be so much simpler if he could fall for someone else. Like€¦Hallie. 

 

They're friends, though€"and sometimes friends become lovers. Sometimes friends become more€¦.
