Description
Tripp's straight best friend Dex is his biggest weakness, and he doesn't want to be strong.
Famous NHL teammates Tripp and Dex have been friends forever. Just about as long as Tripp has been secretly in love with Dex. And Dex doesn't have a clue.
It's about time Tripp gets over Dex, and the only way to do it is to get some space. But after another failed romance, Dex wants a carefree night in Vegas with his best friend. Tripp hates seeing Dex suffer and just can't say no. After all, what's the worst that could happen? A legally binding, accidental marriage, that's what.
It's a PR nightmare that could easily spell disaster. Or it could be exactly what Dex needs to see everything he's ever wanted is right in front of him.
A fun, steamy slow-burn that is perfect for fans of Emily Rath, Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy.
