Stay, Jenna Mason – Marrying Off Celeste

July 9, 2025 · In: 19th

Step 1: Find the perfect guy.
Step 2: Set him up with your best friend.
Step 3: Absolutely do not fall for him.

Paige’s life is good—great couch, delicious pastries, a job that lets her embrace her love of science and spreadsheets. There’s just one problem: her boyfriends always end up falling for her beautiful best friend, Celeste. When Paige starts crushing on her hot new coworker, she’s desperate to take Celeste off the market before history repeats itself.

Zach’s brother won’t quit pestering him about dating again after a messy breakup, so when Zach meets Paige at the local bakery, he can’t believe his good luck. She’s funny, smart, and just what he needs to move on. In fact, she seems almost perfect… until she throws him at her best friend in an awkward dating bait and switch.

To avoid their loved ones’ setups and schemes, Zach and Celeste decide to pretend they’re dating. It seems to work, but there’s one minor hitch: He might be falling for the wrong girl. Can Zach ignore his growing feelings for Paige?

And can Paige believe, after all this time, that someone would actually choose her?
