The Groomsman

Beau Callahan has spent years pretending he can't stand Mason Reed. One shared villa is about to make pretending impossible.

Beau has exactly one job at his sister's lakeside wedding: survive the weekend without causing a scene.

Then he discovers who he's sharing a villa with.

Mason Reed.

Tattooed, confident, infuriatingly charming Mason—the man Beau has spent years arguing with, avoiding, and absolutely not noticing.

Except Beau has noticed.

Every smile. Every teasing comment. Every look that lasts a little too long.

And trapped together at Cedar Lake Resort, there's nowhere left to hide.

Between wedding disasters, competitive beach volleyball, late-night conversations, family chaos, and quiet moments on the dock, the rivalry Beau has always relied on begins falling apart. Because Mason isn't looking at him like an enemy.

He might never have been.

But a wedding weekend is easy. Real life is harder.

When an opportunity from Mason's past threatens the future they're only beginning to imagine, Beau must decide whether protecting his heart is worth losing the man who has spent years quietly showing up for him.

And Mason must choose what success really means when the dream he once wanted collides with the life—and the man—he wants now.

Sometimes the person who drives you craziest is the one who's been waiting for you to finally look back.
