James

Serenity I’m having a mini life crisis. Normally I would confide in my bestie. But I didn’t come all the way to Alaska to ruin her wedding with my pathetic problems. I decide to stay in North Haven a few extra days to get my head on straight. When the new bride offers her key to me and insists I stay at her place while she’s on her honeymoon, I gladly accept it. My plan to hide out and avoid people—especially the arrogant groomsmen James Devano—is quickly upended when I discover I’m not the only one who’s been invited to stay. Just my luck that the one man who has managed to drive me up a wall since I met him is now insisting we coin flip for the guest bedroom. I might strangle the smug, sexy coast guardsmen. If I don’t jump him and climb him like a tree first. James I don’t do commitment. Watching my parents’ on again, off again trainwreck of a relationship over the years has jaded me for life. But when I first see Serenity Collins at my buddy’s wedding, I know I’m trouble. She drives me absolutely crazy, but she also drives me completely wild. My plan to avoid her and the feelings I don’t want seems simple enough. She’s headed out on a plane the day after the wedding. Or at least that’s what I thought. Had I known she was extending her vacation and staying at the newlywed’s place, I never would’ve accepted my buddy’s offer to house sit. Falling for Serenity is the last thing I should do. Especially since I know she’s hung up on someone else. But the more time I spend around her, the more I’m determined to show her how a real man treats a woman. I go from wanting to avoid her to wanting to make her mine. And that’s exactly what I plan to do.
