Never say never…
Romance isn't an option for Holly Greenwood. With her wedding planner
career on the line she needs to stay focused, and that means pleasing her
demanding boss, not getting distracted by her mind-alteringly hot neighbor…
Ex-Marine Kevin Vandemeer craves normalcy. Instead, he has a broken-down
old house in need of a match and some gasoline, a meddling family, and the
uncanny ability to attract the world's craziest women. At least that last one
he can fix: he and his buddies have made a pact to swear off women, and this
includes his sweetly sexy new neighbor.
After one hot night that looks a whole lot like a disaster in the light
of day, Kevin and Holly are about to learn that true love doesn't play by the
rules…

ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
New York
Times and USA Today bestselling
author Denise Grover Swank was born in Kansas City, Missouri and lived in the
area until she was nineteen. Then she became a nomadic gypsy, living in five cities,
four states and ten houses over the course of ten years before she moved back
to her roots. She speaks English and smattering of Spanish and Chinese, which
she learned through an intensive Nick Jr. immersion period. Her hobbies include
witty (in her own mind) Facebook comments and dancing in her kitchen with her
children. (Quite badly if you believe her offspring.) Hidden talents include
the gift of justification and the ability to drink massive amounts of caffeine
and still fall asleep within two minutes. Her lack of the sense of smell allows
her to perform many unspeakable tasks. She has six children and hasn't lost her
sanity. Or so she leads you to believe.

EXCERPT
Kevin
wasn’t sure why he was surprised Holly was here. She was a wedding planner, and
from what he’d seen so far, she was a damn good one.
He’d
been on his way out of the room, needing a breather from the noise and the
chaos of the reception when he’d seen her at the table. He hadn’t planned on
asking her to dance—hell, he hated to dance—but he’d been desperate for a
reason to talk to her.
When
he sat back down at the table, Tyler wore a smirk. “Crashed and burned, huh? I
thought you were going to the bathroom to take a piss.”
“I
was. I just happened to run into a friend.”
“Run
into a friend, my ass. I thought we’d sworn off women. I’ve held up my end of
the bachelor brotherhood. And let me add that I had no idea my balls could turn
this blue.”
“She’s
a friend,” Kevin said, trying not to sound irritated and feed any more fuel to
the fire.
“She’s
his neighbor,” Matt said, taking a sip of his beer, and giving Kevin a pointed
look. “They’re friends.”
Tyler
burst out laughing. “You got
friend-zoned?”
“No,”
Kevin said slowly, picking up his drink, surprised Matt hadn’t told Tyler about
the situation he’d stumbled upon. “I was
the one who said I wanted to be friends.”
“Why?”
Tyler asked, watching Holly with a little more interest than Kevin liked.
“She’s hot. Do you know if she’s seeing anyone?”
“No.”
Kevin’s irritation grew.
Tyler
stood and adjusted his tie, a smirk lighting up his eyes. “Screw the
brotherhood. I think I’ll go over and introduce myself.”
Kevin
was up in a flash. “I don’t think so.”
“Why
not?” he looked surprised. “She looks like she’d be worth a short break from my
hiatus from women.”
Kevin
stepped in front of his path, his jaw set. “Because you’re a prick who will use
her and toss her aside and she deserves a helluva lot better than that.”
Matt
was up in an instant, grabbing Kevin’s arm. “Why don’t we get some air?”
“You
like her,” Tyler said, slack jawed.
“Of
course he likes her,” Matt said. “For someone so smart, sometimes you’re an
idiot.”
“In
my defense,” Tyler said. “He said they were friends.”
“Okay,”
Matt said slowly. “When was the last time you
convinced a woman to be just a friend?”
“Never.”
“I
rest my case, counselor.”
Tyler
sat back down, and Matt tugged on Kevin’s sleeve to get him to join them.
“I can’t believe you didn’t last even a single
week,” Tyler said.
“He
didn’t last a single day,” Matt told
him. “He slept with her the night after our agreement to remain single.”
Tyler
burst out laughing. “For a tough-ass former Marine, I expected you to be the
last holdout, man. At least a week or two.”
