"If you could eliminate all pain, would you give up love?" When Maggie Sloan poses this simple question to her high school students, she's surprised by her own answer: Hell yes. Maggie loves her Single Girl Chicago Life, her Sunday pasta dinners with her Italian family, and her cats. She's happy. She's FINE. Sure, six months ago, she was a hopeless romantic, engaged, and planning her dream wedding. Then Maggie found out the ugly truth about her Perfect Guy, and her life fell apart. Now she has replaced wedding plans with travel, idleness with exercise, a fiancé with felines, and love with lesson planning. But what matters is that her heart is safe. No one will hurt Maggie Sloan. Ever. Along comes a handsome new social studies teacher. Maggie fights her attraction and tries to fix him up with another teacher. She buries herself in work and prepares for her best friend's wedding. But the bride's brother (and Maggie's childhood crush) comes home for the wedding. Suddenly, the wall Maggie has built around her heart begins to crumble, and she finds herself drawn to not one but TWO men. Is she ready to risk more pain? And just when life couldn't get more complicated, Maggie's ex shows up, begging for forgiveness. Do any of these men deserve Maggie's heart? The answer will surprise you.
