About the series
Pete, Danny and Jackson remain each other's friends while each takes the lead in a different romance. B.J. Britt, Jonathan Bennett and Tyler Hynes appear throughout, making the supporting groomsmen as important to the trilogy's identity as its changing locations. The stories include long-distance attraction, feelings for a best friend and a father's move to Italy. Start with Pete, then follow the attention as it shifts to Danny and Jackson.
What to expect
The friendship supplies continuity between three different romantic situations. Pete faces distance, Danny must decide what to say to a best friend, and Jackson's responsibilities as a father shape his move.
