He likes it that was as he’s really been in love with Elizabeth since before he could really remember. The niece, Angelica, begins a study at the hospital and this means that Elizabeth sees Nico constantly. Elizabeth is ashamed of how she acted after Garrett’s funeral but she really doesn’t know what to say to Nico. She’s shocked when Nico, his mother and his niece walk in to her hospital. It’s been 10 years since Elizabeth graduated from high school and she’s now a doctor. Unfortunately Garrett was diagnosed with a horrible disease and died when Elizabeth was just shy of 16. As they got older they fell in love and planned to get married.

Then there was Garrett who she met when she was just nine, right after her mother died, and they were attached at the hip. They played together for a while but then he started teasing and bullying her and she did not have fond thoughts of him. Nico, whose mother was best friends with her mother, was a year older than her and was the bane of her existence. He constantly said that she was his one and only love. Her father, who raised her alone after her mother died when she was nine, always told stories of her mother and how much he loved her.

But when Elizabeth’s plans for benefits without friendship are disarmed by the irritatingly charismatic and chauvinistic Nico Manganiello- her former nemesis- she finds herself struggling to maintain the electric fence around her heart while avoiding electrocution or, worse, falling in love.Įlizabeth Finney is a girl who had three things during her childhood. There are three things you need to know about Elizabeth Finney: 1) She suffers from severe sarcastic syndrome, especially when she’s unnerved, 2) No one unnerves her like Nico Manganiello, and 3) She knows how to knit.Įlizabeth Finney is almost always right about everything: the musical merits of boy bands are undervalued by society, “benefits” with human Ken dolls are better without friendship, and the sun has set on her once-in-a-lifetime chance for true love.
