LOGINShe was teary by the end, which made me feel like I'd absolutely nailed it. "I now pronounce you husband and wife," the officiant said. "You may kiss your bride." I pulled Paige into my arms and kissed her while everyone cheered. At the reception, Danny gave his best man speech with way too mu
ASHER I'd performed in front of millions of people, won three acting awards, and done my own stunts in a movie where I nearly died twice. But standing in this room waiting to get married, I was more terrified than I'd ever been in my entire life. Ten dates. That's what I'd told Paige we neede

Lucian’s jaw clenched. “He wouldn’t have lived to regret it.” He opened his palm, turning one of the tiny black cameras over with his fingers like he was examining a bug under a microscope. “Asher didn’t even know what they were,” he said. “Alex just told him to hide them in specific places in o
“But you love it.” I did. The moment I stepped onto that yacht, I fell headfirst into a fantasy I didn’t even know I needed. The deck gleamed like polished bone. The scent of fresh wood and sea air wrapped around me like a lullaby. Inside? Even worse. Plush white sofas, mood lighting, and a soft ja
