Something like Desire is an emotional, romantic, and humorous story of family, loyalty, and finding love in the most unlikely of places.
Lexi Callen's world is turned upside down when her mother announces she's leaving her father because she's having an affair. With her sister's wedding just weeks away, Lexi vows to put an end to the fling before it tears the family apart.
But her plan takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Zach, the son of her mother's lover, who seems equally determined to break up the relationship. What begins as a blame game and clashing opinions quickly shifts into something more complicated. The more time Lexi spends with Zach, the harder it is to deny the magnetism between them.
As the wedding date looms closer, Lexi is forced to confront more than just her mother's scandal. Questions about her own future, and her long-term boyfriend, Jayden, begin to surface. Caught between loyalty, desire, and the life she thought she wanted, Lexi must decide how much she's willing to risk in order to follow her heart.
