Honestly, she couldn’t believe he’d even agreed to it. Even if that meant she was going to be stuck with the jackass half of the Jennings brothers. Which meant letting her down wasn’t an option.

Somehow she’d wormed her way past the barriers Lilly kept around her heart and become one of her closest friends. Hayden hadn’t just been a boss to Lilly for three years. This was a job that neither tropical storms, canceled flights, nor douchebag ex-Marines could get in the way of. When that friend was a photographer herself, an award-winning Time Magazine photographer, that meant something. She could see the headline now.Īnd her neurotic, obsessive-compulsive friend trusted Lilly to be her wedding photographer. Her former boss was going to annihilate her if she didn’t get her camera to Vermont by Saturday to document the Jace Jennings saying the big “I do.” An event like this deserved a spot in National Geographic, for God’s sake. Outside, the source of her current crisis was whipping the trees into a frenzy and filling the sky with ominous-looking clouds.ĭidn’t Mother Nature know Lilly was not to be screwed with this weekend? She had a wedding to get to. Expecting anything more only led to disappointment. In her experience, the only thing you could rely on Nate Jennings for was a mind-melting orgasm. Walking on broken glass sounded more appealing. Any minute the bane of her existence was going to walk through that door, and she was going to be expected to play nice and rely on him for help. Across the table her roommate, Paige, gave an answering grimace.Ī nauseating mixture of caffeine and apprehension buzzed through Lilly’s veins as she watched the glass door to the coffee shop. “I can’t believe I’m doing this.” Lilly Grayson tapped her heel against the floor under the Starbucks table and sipped on her third cup of coffee that morning. Thank you for always being my biggest fan. For my beautiful, brilliant, and supportive mother.
