Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / iBooks / GooglePlay EXCERPT: “We’re not—you don’t really—we can’t be—” “Married?” She laughs, but it’s a brittle sound. “Come on. We didn’t actually have a wedding last night.” “We didn’t? You’re sure?” I perk up. Great. She remembers last night. I squeeze my eyes and try to recall something—anything—that happened after Declan and Shannon said their goodbyes at the reception last night. “I’m, well, I mean…” Twisting in my arms, she looks at me with those big, wide, trusting eyes, her left hand splayed against my bare chest, digging in where the robe has separated. “You don’t remember what happened?” My voice drops with uncertainty. Hers goes up. “No.” “Quit joking.” “Not joking.” “We both can’t remember any part of last night?” “When does your memory end?” I ask. Mascara is streaked along the corner of her eye, and any makeup she wore last night currently resides somewhere on my skin or on the bedsheets. I can only imagine what I look like.

But I remember saying goodnight to Shannon, hugging Declan, and then—poof! Nothing.” Poof. “That’s when my memory ends, too,” I say, my skin beginning to crawl. “I know one thing: we did not have a foursome.” “And I soooooo did not sleep with Josh. He’s gay. The man can’t handle watching a birth video. A real-life vagina would send him into cardiac arrest.” “I know my heart pounds whenever I see yours,” I whisper. She gives me a reluctant smile, in spite of her hangover. “That was baaaaaad,” she groans. “All signs point to the sex question being put to rest. Worst case, all we did was sleep with each other,” I note. “Worst case? Buddy, sleeping with me is best case. Best case. Always best.” That was an unfortunate choice of words on my part. Before I can do damage control, she speaks. “What if we are?” she hisses. “Are what?” Her eyes dart to mine. “Married.” ![]()
