Or maybe just a single night of passion, no strings attached. Finn knows he can't give Beth what she wants—and a nice guy would walk away. But when a long day of work turns into a private night, fueled by wine and pent-up desire, he gives in to his baser instincts. Damn the consequences.

The kiss that followed wasn't necessary, strictly speaking, but it sure was hot. Hot enough that when the tables are turned, Chase knows just the pretty bartender to ask to be his pretend girlfriend. Only this time, it's not a one-time deal. The pub was slammed, strange for a Sunday night, but it was one of the last weekends of the summer. The tips would make up for the sore feet. Mari was pouring a tray of pints when the phone rang. She hopped over and stuck the ancient handset under her ear, pinning it in place as she pulled the long cord back to the taps with her. “Danny’s.” “You sound busy.” Her heart didn’t leap a little at the sound of his voice. No, it didn’t. “Yep.” “What time do you get off?” “We close at ten tonight, then I need to do some clean up. Probably ten thirty, but I’m not sure.” “Okay. See you later.” She frowned as she hung up the phone. Two hours later, she was still confused when he sauntered in after last call. Instead of taking his regular stool, he started straightening chairs. “What are you doing?” “Helping you.” “Why?” “Because that’s what boyfriends do?” She looked around. They were alone. “Uhm…” “Because that’s what friends do?” He shrugged. “Don’t overthink it. I actually just wanted to give you my cell phone number, but when I called you sounded swamped, so I thought it would be easier to stop by. And I’m not going to watch you sweep, that would be a dick move.” “You watch me tend bar almost every day.” “That’s different.” “How?” “I don’t know. Give me that.” He took the broom from her hand, and she ignored the little thrill she got at the brief, hot press of his fingers against hers.

A lot of love. And non-stop parenting. Plus they had a wedding to plan. But now it's their time, and Liam wants to make the most of it. He's never had any problem showing Evie how much he loves her, and now that they’re making the ultimate commitment to each other, he wants to find exactly the right words as well. Then he’ll go back to showing her, over and over again.

Neither of them is happy, and the ridiculous wedding being planned by the entire town isn’t helping matters. It’s time to reconnect—with the door locked and their clothes off. WARNING: This book overflows with sexy hockey players, frothy wedding details, and frivolous sex scenes. And it's not just the bride and groom who are getting lucky!

And he wants Brent. And he wants, most of all, for Brent and Jess to sort their problems out so the three of them can have a lot of fun before he waltzes into the sunset. Because the one thing that Evan West doesn’t do is fall in love.
