What if you were to meet the number-one person on your laminated listโyou know, that list you joke about with your significant other about which five celebrities youโd be allowed to run off with if ever given the chance? And of course since itโll never happen it doesnโt matterโฆ
Mormon housewife Becky Jack is seven months pregnant with her fourth child when she meets celebrity hearththrob Felix Callahan. Twelve hours, one elevator ride, and one alcohol-free dinner later, something has happenedโฆthough nothing has happened. It isnโt sexual. It isnโt even quite love. But a month later Felix shows up in Salt Lake City to visit and before they know whatโs hit them, Felix and Becky are best friends. Really. Beckyโs husband is pretty cool about it. Her children roll their eyes. Her neighbors gossip endlessly. But Felix and Becky have something specialโฆsomething unusual, something completely impossible to sustain. Or is it?
