When Renee was desperately researching wedding planners, Alex had the perfect suggestion.

His childhood best-friend-turned-enemy. The woman who’d driven him crazy as a kid and even crazier as an adult.

Kelsey Sutton.

Their mothers were still in touch, so Alex had a direct connection to all that went on in Kelsey’s life. Every Sunday he’d hear about how well Kelsey was doing for herself, what a hard worker she was, how she still hadn’t found herself a man…

His mother, bless her heart, was as subtle as a freight train.

Kelsey had been busy these last few years, building quite a name for herself in Hollywood. Her events were the talk of the town, parties that celebrities and other Hollywood types spoke fondly of long after the celebrations passed. So when he had a chance to suggest an event planner, Kelsey was a no-brainer. Plus, it meant they’d be in close quarters together and he’d have four long days to drive her crazy. Because that wild spark she got in her eye on that Tuesday afternoon in Principal Parker’s office?

Alex had been chasing that spark ever since.

And, beyond that layer of disdain she had for him because of some stupid shit that happened when they were in third grade, adulthood brought with it better banter, sexier bickering, and a distinct,carnalchemistry between them. Undeniable and nearly palpable any time they were in one another’s orbit.

If anything could distract Alex while his best friend married his ex-girlfriend, it was playful banter—fighting?—with Kelsey Sutton.
