We
were like two stars orbiting each other—dancing around the possibility that one
day we might collide. When we finally did, we opened up a black hole,
obliterating everything around us. No one would be the same.
Least of all, us.
Waking up in Vegas married to the guy of your
dreams sounds like a good thing, right? Not when you’re Thea Montgomery and
said guy is your brother’s best friend.
Thea and Xander have always avoided the
connection between them because her brother would never approve. Now, they’re
married— the strongest bond you can have as a couple—and they’re not even a
real couple…unless they want to be.
Thea wants an annulment immediately, but
Xander’s waited too long to see her become his and he won’t let her go easily.
If she wants a divorce, fine, but he wants the
summer to convince her that he’s the one. If at the end of the summer she still
wants to end their marriage he’ll sign the papers, but until then…
All is not fair in love and
war.
Unedited and subject to change.
Holy mother of all hangovers.
I’d succumbed to the lure
of Vegas and gotten completely wasted. Granted, that’s what everyone did in Las
Vegas but I like to think I usually have more sense than the social
norm.
I rub my eyes and blink
them open. The hotel room comes into formation around me. The walls are a warm
golden color and the flat screen on the wall plays some home improvement show.
I can see the bathroom from the bed, the tiled walls and large soaking tub.
I roll over onto my side,
hoping I can sleep off the hangover, and reel back.
“Oh my God,” I cry,
flailing in bed.
My legs kick the sleeping
guy beside me.
Not just any
sleeping guy.
Oh no.
Xander Kincaid, my
brother’s best friend, lays in the bed beside me.
His dark hair tumbles over
his forehead and his cheeks are covered with several days worth of scruff. His
chest is bare and…holy shit. He’s naked.
I look down.
Oh God, I’m naked too.
“What’s wrong?” He asks,
reaching his left hand out to pull me closer to him. That’s when I see it.
“Is that a wedding band?” I
scream shrilly.
His eyes narrow. “You don’t
fucking remember?”
I shake my head and look at
my own hand. A thin silver band rests on my finger. “What did we do?”
He sits up in bed and I try
to ignore how adorably rumpled he looks with his hair sticking up.
Everything begins flooding
back to me in quick bursts.
Drinks.
Kissing.
Laughter.
Confessions of love and
desire.
A wedding chapel.
Vows.
Rings.
A contract.
“We’re married,” I whisper.
“Holy shit.” It’s all I’ve ever wanted—to be with Xander, but not like this. Never
like this. “My brother is going to kill us.”
First 3 chapters will be going up

Book One in the series. Cade and Rae’s story.
Can be read as a standalone.
What I remember the most about that day was that it
was completely ordinary. Then with one stupid decision everything fell apart
and nothing was ever the same.
Rae Wilder wants nothing but a do over—but life doesn’t work that way. She’s stuck living out the consequences of her actions. At times the burden feels unbearable.
College is supposed to be her second chance.
New place.
New people.
New life.
No one to know what she did.
Despite that, she has still vowed to avoid everyone and everything at all costs.
Unfortunately for her, an accidental run-in with the campus heartthrob, Cade Montgomery, derails that plan.
He’s determined to thaw the ice around her heart and expose the girl she used to be. He wants to show her that life is worth living for and that she really is a Rae of Sunshine.
