As a romance author, Paisley Parish is a hopeless romantic. Seeing her friends exchange promises of forever does her heart good–even if the whole thing does highlight her own regrettably single status. But that’s what cake and champagne are for. She just has to escape the douchecanoe who won’t take no for an answer.

He hates weddings

Former Army Ranger Ty Brooks is happy to see his brother-in-arms starting his new life. He just wishes he was out of this monkey suit and miles away from the seemingly endless parade of guests. All this happily ever after isn’t for him, but he’s determined nothing’s going to ruin Harrison and Ivy’s special night. Especially the asshat who’s cornered one of the female guests.

A blast from the past

The knight in a tux who shows up with a glass of champagne pretending to be Paisley’s date is none other than the first love who broke her heart. Ty’s older, hotter, and shocked to see her. It’s clear the old chemistry is alive and kicking, and as they take a walk down memory lane, so are the feelings they both thought long dead and buried. Will the night be the closure they never got…or the start of a second chance?

Author’s note: This short story is a prequel to the novel MADE FOR LOVING YOU.
