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
When my parents came back from their conference, Damon told me he wanted our families to know about our relationship officially. I was nervous, but I agreed. The next evening, everyone gathered in the main living room. My parents, Aunt Sky and her husband, Victor, Ella, Asher and his new girlf

KELLY On our way back to the hotel, I couldn't help but notice that Danny was still vibrating with barely contained rage. His hands were clenched into tight fists, his jaw was rigid, and he looked like he was using every ounce of self-control to keep from punching something. Or someone. "Does
KELLY THREE DAYS LATER Danny had been acting like the perfect husband ever since his mom dropped the Hawaii bomb on us and left. It was honestly creeping me out. Gone was the man who'd tried to starve me and trap me in heated rooms. This new Danny opened doors, carried bags, and asked about my d
KELLY The sound of my palm against Danny's cheek echoed sharply in the quiet room. "How dare you?" I demanded, my voice shaking. "How dare you touch me without my consent? Are you trying to take advantage of me?" His face showed complete confusion. He rubbed his cheek where I'd hit him, the sk
