Serenity

I'm having a mini life crisis.
Normally I would confide in my bestie.
But I didn't come all the way to Alaska to ruin her wedding with my pathetic problems.
I decide to stay in North Haven a few extra days to get my head on straight.
When the new bride offers her key to me and insists I stay at her place while she's on her honeymoon, I gladly accept it.
My plan to hide out and avoid people—especially the arrogant groomsmen James Devano—is quickly upended when I discover I'm not the only one who's been invited to stay.
Just my luck that the one man who has managed to drive me up a wall since I met him is now insisting we coin flip for the guest bedroom.
I might strangle the smug, sexy coast guardsmen.
If I don't jump him and climb him like a tree first.

I don't do commitment.
Watching my parents' on again, off again trainwreck of a relationship over the years has jaded me for life.
But when I first see Serenity Collins at my buddy's wedding, I know I'm trouble.
She drives me absolutely crazy, but she also drives me completely wild.
My plan to avoid her and the feelings I don't want seems simple enough.
She's headed out on a plane the day after the wedding.
Or at least that's what I thought.
Had I known she was extending her vacation and staying at the newlywed's place, I never would've accepted my buddy's offer to house sit.
Falling for Serenity is the last thing I should do.
Especially since I know she's hung up on someone else.
But the more time I spend around her, the more I'm determined to show her how a real man treats a woman.
I go from wanting to avoid her to wanting to make her mine.
And that's exactly what I plan to do.
