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.”
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
New York Times and USA
Today bestselling author Denise Grover Swank was born in Kansas City,
Missouri and lived in the area until she was nineteen. Then she became a
nomadic gypsy, living in five cities, four states and ten houses over the
course of ten years before she moved back to her roots. She speaks English and
smattering of Spanish and Chinese, which she learned through an intensive Nick
Jr. immersion period. Her hobbies include witty (in her own mind) Facebook
comments and dancing in her kitchen with her children. (Quite badly if you
believe her offspring.) Hidden talents include the gift of justification and
the ability to drink massive amounts of caffeine and still fall asleep within
two minutes. Her lack of the sense of smell allows her to perform many
unspeakable tasks. She has six children and hasn't lost her sanity. Or so she
leads you to believe.
