“If you can’t make up your mind, we’ll go into the chapel.”
“Why?” she asked.
He pointed her toward the register. “It’s symbolic of our devotion and transitioning to a new life and…” He grinned when she raised her brows. “Really, I just like watching you walk.”
She leaned into him. “Sounds like a valid reason to me, Mr. Woodhouse.” She frowned. “It doesn’t have the same ring to it.”
“Still sounds like you’re talking about my dad.” He paid for their drinks, and they headed out to the car.
She spun to face him when they reached the Mercedes. “That’s no good, then. How about Mr. Lovey-Schmoopy-Cuddly-Bear?”
He furrowed his brow, and then lunged for her and tickled her sides until she squealed. He dipped his head for a kiss. “I don’t care what you call me, as long as you’re the one saying it.”
“That’s cheesier than Mr. Lovey-Schmoopy-Cuddly-Bear. Dork.”
“It’s not. And I’ll ask anyone in this gas station to prove you wrong.” He turned away.
She grabbed his wrist. “See if the urge is still there next stop. We need to get back on the road.”
“I guess.” Despite the disappointed tone, he grinned.
This beat any daydreams she had of this moment, growing up. Screw the overpriced dress she’d only wear once, and the false congratulations from people who showed up because it was expected. If she’d guessed a million times how her future with Jonathan would be, she would have been wrong with each and every one. This was far better than anything she’d come up with.

Breaching His Defenses (Love Hack Book 1)
What happens in Vegas… Can break hearts and destroy careers.
Years ago, heartbreak corrupted Jared Tippins’s outlook on love. He spun the betrayal into a rapid climb up the corporate ladder, and swore off any relationship with a morning after. Luckily, the playful siren who rescues him from singing a duet alone in a karaoke bar doesn’t want anything long term.
If only he could stop fantasizing about ways to make her moan. Sure, she could’ve mentioned he works for the competition. At least she’s not behind the security concerns that have plagued his company for almost six months.
If she were, he’d be screwed on a whole new level.
Roll Against Trust (3d20 Book 1)
Tasha’s not looking for love, but she doesn’t mind just looking… and maybe a little fantasizing. Her two best friends and weekend AD& D buddies, Seth and Ryan, are the perfect guest stars in her fantasies. When a late night gaming session with the three goes from silly to verbally scorching in an instant, Tasha wonders if her imagination is enough to keep her satisfied long term.
Then her ex’s money mismanagement catches up to her in the form of draining her bank account, her job is threatened by a mistake that points to Ryan, and Seth takes his side. If Tasha can’t move past her trust issues long enough to uncover the truth—both with herself and the men she’s falling for—she’ll wind up broken-hearted and just plain broke.
The #5Star Affair (Love Hashtagged Book 1)
Jaycie Wharry is one of gaming’s most infamous reviewers—under the intentionally vague pseudonym J-Dub. Most of her friends didn’t even know what she really did for a living. Then again, one in particular was missing a few solder points in his neural circuits, and she traded that life in as fast as she could when his infatuation with her translated into a threat to her safety. Her new roommate, Ethan, is just supposed to be a firewall against the past, but they’re heating up the wires faster than an X-box on a summer’s day.
When one of Ethan’s friends leaks Jaycie’s reviewing identity to the entire internet, accusing her of sleeping with developers in exchange for her 5-star approval, both of their careers are threatened. Since slapping a gag-order on the internet to protect their jobs, privacy, and safety isn’t an option, Jaycie and Ethan will need to archive all their preconceived notions, or watch their future—with each other and in general—crash in an unrecoverable way.
