Ellie Hart has been a bridesmaid so many times she's become the go-to person for the role among her friends. So when she's donned the title once again at the latest wedding, she doesn't appreciate the teasing she gets from best man Noah Carruthers about it.
But when they both have too much to drink at the reception, it leads to life-changing consequences–one that will be gracing them in nine months. Now Ellie has finally become the bride, but for all the wrong reasons!
Their connection had been instantaneous, their Las Vegas wedding within twenty-four hours of meeting.
The one time sensible and level-headed Cade Camden does something spontaneous, it's a big, fat failure, leaving him humiliated and with an absentee wife who hadn't even waited until the wedding night was over before going MIA. Five months later she finally shows her face again, this time accompanied by annulment papers. And right before the holidays too.
Robyn Crenshaw never expected her estranged husband would ask her to stay for the holidays, not after the way she had left him all those months before. But it's an offer she has no choice but to take—just like how she had no choice but to leave on their wedding night. Not that she plans to stay once the holidays are over.
But despite everything, the connection is still there. And though Cade knows he should just sign those papers and have them go their separate ways, he's not ready to give up on them yet. He meant it when he said for better or for worse. But can he unravel what made her run in the first place and find a way to convince her to stay for the rest of their lives?
Keep your enemies closer . . .
Marnie Bradshaw and Brian Wright's animosity toward each other is well known throughout the office. So much so it's become a running joke among their co-workers.
So when there's a mishap in their hotel bookings and they end up having to share a room during a convention, neither doubt it was a deliberate setup to get another good laugh at their expense.
Except what happens when instead of sharing insults, they end up sharing the bed?

They couldn't even blame it on alcohol . . .
Highly competitive best friends Lexie Grant and Jackson Cooper are mortified to find themselves married in Vegas after a bet gets out of hand. But before they can get an annulment, the news travels back to their families. To avoid the guaranteed backlash for ending the marriage so soon, they decide to remain married in name only for a little longer.
They don't count on Jackson's grandmother visiting though, forcing Lexie to temporarily move in with him while they play the happy couple. Things go from bad to worse when his grandmother falls ill, prolonging the charade while she recovers.
But what happens when the more they pretend, the more real the marriage feels?
The perfect man for the job . . .
Ever since Jill McCreedy was dumped by her fiancé, her mother, desperate for her daughter to marry, has been hounding her to begin dating again. So when it's time to attend the annual family reunion, Jill's not looking forward to it.
Until she comes up with the brilliant idea of bringing along a fake boyfriend–dumb jock Chad Randall, someone she'd never go for, but more importantly, someone her mother would never approve of. Maybe it would finally teach her mother not to meddle.
But what happens when not only does her mother adore him, but Jill finds out she's pegged him all wrong and he's exactly her type?
One little lie . . .
When Lisabette Ellis told Shane Murphy back in their college days that she had once dated a friend of his, she thought the lie would awaken the green-eyed monster and spur him to finally ask her out on a date. Instead, it backfired and only ensured she was forever off limits as he refused to break the Bro Code by dating a friend's ex.
Five years later, she's still firmly planted on the sidelines of the friend zone.
But after watching all her best friends marry off one by one, Lisabette is determined to find her happily ever after too–with Shane. It'll just have to take a bit of ingenuity to make him forget his hang-up and see she's the perfect woman for him. Easy peasy.
Except what happens when all her schemes don't go according to plan?
