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

ALEX I nearly laughed at the caller. His offer was tempting, sure. But people who made offers like this always came with strings—and eventually, nooses. “I’m not interested,” I said coldly. “You will be,” the voice replied calmly. “But no pressure. I’ll send my number. Keep it if you change yo
Thirty minutes later, Alex was out. He stepped through the doors, wearing the same smug face I’d seen the last time I ran into him.
