Fourth Down Forever by Nichole Ruschelle

He broke my heart… and now I’m wearing his ring.

Samantha:
Being maid of honor for my best friend’s wedding should’ve been exciting—until I found out who the best man was. Kade Humphries. My ex. The man who shattered me like a cheap wine glass on game day. I promised myself I could handle it—act cool, stay classy, ignore his stupidly perfect smile. What I didn’t plan on? Waking up next to him in Vegas with a hangover, a marriage license… and his last name.

Kade:
Samantha was everything—smart, gorgeous, the kind of girl you marry. And that was exactly the problem. I swore I’d never be that guy—tied down, locked in, game over. So I pushed her away the only way I knew how: by being the jerk she’d hate. It worked. Until our best friends decided to tie the knot. One wild joint bachelor party, one too many drinks, and now? I’m hitched to the woman I never stopped loving.

Now we’re stuck in a marriage neither of us planned… and maybe exactly what we needed.
