The Best Man Needs Practice

Two best men. One destination wedding. Eight days of forced proximity and practice lessons that could ruin everything.

Camden Royce makes his living capturing perfect moments. As an elite wedding photographer, he knows exactly how to read a room, charm a crowd, and never, ever get attached. When his best friend, Theo, asks him to be the co-best man at a gorgeous destination wedding in Portugal, Camden anticipates a week of beautiful light and easy celebrations. What he doesn’t anticipate is his co-best man: Abram Hollis.

Bram is Theo's older brother, a former Marine turned disaster relief logistician who is six-foot-five of pure, immovable muscle. Bram is all logistics and zero charm. He doesn't flirt, he doesn’t smile, and for four years, he has watched Camden with an intensity that Camden assumed was disapproval.

When a ceiling leak in their shared honeymoon cottage forces them to share a single bed, the careful distance between them goes up in flames. Camden expects Bram to be stoic and unyielding. But when Bram finally drops his guard and admits he's never kissed a man, Camden offers to teach him. It’s just practice—just a temporary arrangement to get through the week.

But Bram isn't just learning—he's paying absolute attention. As the lessons escalate from the bedroom to a moonlit pool and a dark wine cellar, Camden realizes that the man he thought was a monument might be the only person who actually sees him.

The problem? Bram is scheduled to deploy to a disaster zone in six weeks, and Camden has spent his entire life mastering the art of leaving first.

The Best Man Needs Practice is a steamy, high-heat M/M contemporary romance featuring grumpy/sunshine opposites, forced proximity, intense practice lessons, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
