β¦ Synopsis
Pink dresses. Tacos. Dancing outside food trucks.
Three things Iβve never associated with my lifeβ¦until Penny. At my best friendβs wedding, I meet the ever-cheerful maid of honor who refuses to leave my side. Sheβs glitter and smiles. Love and happiness. Everything Iβm not. In fact, I keep people at an armβs length. While she intrigues me, I know better than to taint her.
But what if itβs destiny?
A week later she shows up at my office, clinging to me as if sheβs mine. I should set her straight and send her packing, but I canβt. Not when she feels like home. Pennyβs offering me her sweetnessβ¦and Iβm taking all of it.
