Marrying my best friend in Vegas? Not exactly what I had in mind…

Alice Burke has been my best friend since college. Nothing like a girl puking all over you to cement your friendship. Distance never mattered. But getting traded to the Colorado Black Diamonds put us in the same city.

When I invite her along to Vegas to celebrate our Cup win, the last thing I expect is to wake up married to her. An annulment should be easy, right?

Wrong.

For Alice to get her dream shop, she needs to stay married for the next year. And to prevent a PR nightmare for the team, we have no other choice.

No one needs to know the truth.

Just friends.

Except that truth gets harder to keep the more time we spend together. We’re only doing this to help each other. Nothing more. Until one night we cross the line.

This was only supposed to last a year. One taste, and I’m hooked. There’s no way I can give her up.

Maybe we can find a way to make this thing work.

We’re in this together, right?

It’s what any friend would do.
