Abby Millsaps

MADDIE I’ll admit it: I knew exactly who he was when I walked into The Oak that night. I probably should have just left him alone. But I was bored. And he’s gorgeous, just like his brother. How was I supposed to resist? The kiss we shared was scorching hot. But it was nothing compared to the intensity of his anger when he realized who I was, and who I’m related to. His hostility fuels me. His resistance makes me push harder. He made this into a game I’m determined to win. Whether he likes it or not, I’ve officially set my sights on Dempsey Haas. DEMPSEY He called her Fourth Wheel. There was a familiarity between them that should have told me she was off limits. But there was just something about that girl. Something familiar. Something forbidden. Something so damn tempting. Her timing is impeccable. I’ve never felt more lonely or listless in my life. I’m not looking for a relationship, or even a fling. Especially not with someone seven years younger who happens to be related to the two people my brother hates most. But the way my entire body responded to her when she pushed me against that clock tower and kissed me? That’s a moment that’ll stay with me forever. I had my fun. Now I have to lock it down.

Daphne As a little girl, I believed in fairy tales. Prince Charming saving the princess. The promise of a better life. The magic of happily ever after. But I’m pretty sure Sleeping Beauty never woke up to a text message from Prince Charming’s brother, informing her that they’d both been granted “free passes” for the weekend of their bachelor and bachelorette parties. I can’t believe this is my life. But I’ve already made my decision, and I’m confident about what happens next. The wedding is off. I won’t be the victim in this story. I’m ready to take back my power. One night of pleasure with the wildly attractive man I meet at The Oak is just what I need to start rewriting my happily ever after. What I didn’t anticipate? One night with Fielding might not be enough. Not only that—one night with him might change the trajectory of my life forever. Fielding It’s been a long time since I’ve felt anything in the hollow, tattered place my heart used to reside. Then everything shifts when I lock eyes with a luminous angel in white. She’s a ten. But she’s curvy as hell with an ass that’s literally two handfuls. So she’s a twelve. She’s also the freaking bride to be—or was, according to her story. I offer Daphne one night of pleasure, knowing damn well it won’t be enough. Now I want more. No, not just more—I want it all with her. She’s reluctant to pursue the connection I know we both feel, and with good reason. So I’ll bide my time. Play the long game. Wait her out and do everything in my power to convince her she’s meant to be mine. One thing’s for sure: I’m not giving up when it comes to my future with this woman. It’s disgustingly on brand for me. If it’s off limits, I want it. Dangle the forbidden fruit in front of me, and I’ll stop at nothing until I obtain it. I’ve always been a full out fiend.

Playboy. Jokester. Uncle Jakey. Bro. Living in this small town my whole life means everyone knows my name. The one title I never expected to take on?
 Husband. My father’s will is clear: the only way I’ll ever see my inheritance is if I get married. I never cared about the money. I cringe at the thought of letting him manipulate me from the grave. But now I’m short on time, out of options, and desperate for cash. Cue the wedding bells. The only reason I’m moving forward with this crazy idea is because I’ve figured out a way to unlock my inheritance while also raising the middle finger to my father’s legacy. See, there’s something Joe Whitely’s narrow-minded bigotry never counted on: times have changed. Laws have changed. Getting married doesn’t mean I have to find a wife like he so desperately wanted. In fact, I’m determined to do the opposite. I just have to find myself a man, convince him to marry me, and pop my relationship cherry. Because that’s the catch: I’ve been with plenty of men. And women. But I’ve never been in a committed relationship. Husband. I guess I better get used to hearing it, saying it, and figuring out what the hell it means if this plan is going to work.

It contains content some may find triggering, including offensive language and discussion of attempted SA. It is a dual POV story featuring characters in their mid to late twenties.
