Mission

Serena Holly is determined to see her best friend, Keith, settled with a partner before summer ends. They have been close since they lived next door to each other in elementary school, and two decades later that bond is as strong as ever. Serena has rebuilt a happy life after a rough divorce, centered on her daughter, her circle of friends, and her work as a high school teacher. Still, she worries that Keith is lonely.

Keith wants a family, but he has decided he cannot begin one until he falls in love. Serena takes on the job of finding him the right woman while pushing aside the attraction she has started to feel for him. Keith has spent years keeping his hopes for their friendship from turning into anything more, yet he agrees to let her spend the summer matchmaking for him. The one woman he wants to love is Serena.

Serena has finally found stability for herself and her daughter after a difficult marriage, and she does not want to risk it by changing the nature of her friendship with Keith. Keith, though, cannot control how he feels about her, and he may not be able to keep himself from acting on it. Serena believes she knows what is best for him, but Keith has a plan of his own.
