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

PRINCESS Although I didn't exactly know my way back to my room, I figured it was better to say I did. I could always figure it out later. How hard could it be? "Of course," I said, getting to my feet. I turned and quickly tried to leave. But because the universe apparently hated me, I ac
His eyes went wide with panic. Recognition of danger. Too late, buddy. Way too late. He was just quick enough to shove Imelda out of the way, which was fine by me. Honestly, I had nothing against Imelda. She was probably just another one of Frank's victims. A girl he'd manipulated and
