Jess Buffett was born and raised in New South Wales, Australia. She married her high school sweetheart and they live on the Central Coast with their two children. Jess is a hopeless romantic who loves stories about true love that sizzle with a happy ending—which is probably a good thing given what she writes. She is a huge fan of M/M and M/F romance—anything with hunky men in all their glory, whether they be shifters, vampires, cowboys, or the boy next door. Jess is a firm believer in soul mates, happily-ever-afters, and love at first sight, but that sometimes people need a second or a third meeting for the brain to catch up.

Caleb frowned, and Josh braced himself for the usual argument.

They were interrupted by a loud, feminine voice. "Sorry to interrupt, but we were wondering if you boys would mind sharing your table?"

He felt almost giddy with relief, hopefully with a little female intervention his brother would be distracted long enough for Josh to make a quick escape back to the hotel.

Lifting his gaze, Josh found three extremely attractive women standing there. The one in front wore one of those fake veils that brides-to-be wear, complete with a sash—and appeared to be drunk as a skunk. Oh, geez. Josh's eyes slid to the two other women behind her, ready to make his exit, until his gaze landed on the most vibrant lavender eyes he had ever seen.

The owner of the startling orbs stood at the back, gnawing on her full, bottom lip. Stunning, with hair so dark it almost passed for black running down past her shoulder and to her hips, Josh’s couldn’t tear his gaze away. Her eyes were what really caught Josh, though. Something in them called to him. Amusement and embarrassment at her friend shone through, but also a hint of sadness and pain, and it struck a chord deep in his chest.

As if sensing his appraisal, she locked her lavender gaze with his. Damn, she’s beautiful. She wore a knee length, sleeveless evening dress that matched her eyes and showed off her sun-kissed legs.

Never looking away, Josh pulled out the chair next to his. "Your company would be much appreciated, ma'am."

A faint blush crawled up her cheeks, and damned if that didn't turn Josh on even more.

"Th-thank you," she stammered quietly, taking the offered seat.

"Well, well. A real gentleman. Who'd have thunk'd it," slurred the bride-to-be, giggling as she plopped herself down on the chair next to the beauty. She then turned to pull the other woman into the seat next to Caleb. "Heya. I'm Charlotte, bride-to-be if you couldn't tell. And this here is my beautiful sister, Brianna."

Charlotte stroked her sister's hair, making Brianna pull away, coincidentally moving her closer to Josh. Once her chair sat right up against his, Josh noticed Charlotte stopped, before turning to face Caleb. If he hadn't been watching he would have missed the sly smile that played over the bride-to-be's lips. So, she wanted to get her sister closer to Josh. Interesting.
