Just like the rest of us, Hallie Cairns loves it when her handbag gets a seat. What she doesn’t love is the man who takes its place to sit beside her.

It’s been eight long years and over 5,000 miles between Hallie, the city she once called home, and all the hurt she left behind. In town for her best friend’s wedding and the sale of her grandmother’s house, Hallie plans to be back in Scotland as soon as humanly possible.

Out for dinner with the bride and groom, the last thing she expects is for Marcus Scott to take the seat beside her. That’s until they’re asked to be best man and maid of honor, an unhinged idea if Hallie’s ever heard one. But this isn’t a request either of them can very well say no to. Met with the cocky smile of Marcus, the first man to break her heart and her hymen, Hallie quickly realizes she’s in for a long night and an even longer stay.

Armed with a sharp tongue, biting words, and a list of six rules from the bride and groom to help them behave, Hallie isn’t afraid of Marcus Scott. He might be handsome as hell, their chemistry off-the-charts combustible, but it doesn’t change a single thing. Because while Hallie might be the maid of honor, Marcus is far from the best man. After all, he’s the man who convinced her home was not to be found, least of all with him.
