Never say never…
Romance isn't an option for Holly Greenwood. With
her wedding planner career on the line she needs to stay focused, and that
means pleasing her demanding boss, not getting distracted by her
mind-alteringly hot neighbor…
Ex-Marine Kevin Vandemeer craves normalcy. Instead,
he has a broken-down old house in need of a match and some gasoline, a meddling
family, and the uncanny ability to attract the world's craziest women. At least
that last one he can fix: he and his buddies have made a pact to swear off
women, and this includes his sweetly sexy new neighbor.
After one hot night that looks a whole lot like a
disaster in the light of day, Kevin and Holly are about to learn that true love
doesn't play by the rules…

Excerpt
Kevin wasn’t sure why he was
surprised Holly was here. She was a wedding planner, and from what he’d seen so
far, she was a damn good one.
He’d been on his way out of the
room, needing a breather from the noise and the chaos of the reception when
he’d seen her at the table. He hadn’t planned on asking her to dance—hell, he
hated to dance—but he’d been desperate for a reason to talk to her.
When he sat back down at the
table, Tyler wore a smirk. “Crashed and burned, huh? I thought you were going
to the bathroom to take a piss.”
“I was. I just happened to run
into a friend.”
“Run into a friend, my ass. I
thought we’d sworn off women. I’ve held up my end of the bachelor brotherhood.
And let me add that I had no idea my balls could turn this blue.”
“She’s a friend,” Kevin said,
trying not to sound irritated and feed any more fuel to the fire.
“She’s his neighbor,” Matt said,
taking a sip of his beer, and giving Kevin a pointed look. “They’re friends.”
Tyler burst out laughing. “You got friend-zoned?”
“No,” Kevin said slowly, picking
up his drink, surprised Matt hadn’t told Tyler about the situation he’d
stumbled upon. “I was the one who
said I wanted to be friends.”
“Why?” Tyler asked, watching
Holly with a little more interest than Kevin liked. “She’s hot. Do you know if
she’s seeing anyone?”
“No.” Kevin’s irritation grew.
Tyler stood and adjusted his tie,
a smirk lighting up his eyes. “Screw the brotherhood. I think I’ll go over and
introduce myself.”
Kevin was up in a flash. “I don’t
think so.”
“Why not?” he looked surprised.
“She looks like she’d be worth a short break from my hiatus from women.”
Kevin stepped in front of his
path, his jaw set. “Because you’re a prick who will use her and toss her aside
and she deserves a helluva lot better than that.”
Matt was up in an instant,
grabbing Kevin’s arm. “Why don’t we get some air?”
“You like her,” Tyler said, slack
jawed.
“Of course he likes her,” Matt
said. “For someone so smart, sometimes you’re an idiot.”
“In my defense,” Tyler said. “He
said they were friends.”
“Okay,” Matt said slowly. “When
was the last time you convinced a
woman to be just a friend?”
“Never.”
“I rest my case, counselor.”
Tyler sat back down, and Matt
tugged on Kevin’s sleeve to get him to join them.
“I can’t believe you didn’t last even a single
week,” Tyler said.
“He didn’t last a single day,” Matt told him. “He slept with her
the night after our agreement to remain single.”
Tyler burst out laughing. “For a
tough-ass former Marine, I expected you to be the last holdout, man. At least a
week or two.”
