Gage McCreedy was reluctant when his best friend asked him to be the best man at his wedding. He was a bachelor who had burned before and he didn't believe in the institute of marriage. When he arrived he was nauseated as he watched Tucker with his bride Holly act all lovey-dovey with each other; But it wasn't until Tucker asked the ultimate favor of him that he really wished he hadn't said yes. His best friend wants him to entertain Holly's bookish little sister while he's there and make her feel like a desirable woman. Emma has spent most of her life as a shy librarian with no time for men or romance. Her life revolves around the books that she cares for, and she's perfectly happy with it being that way. When she looks up at the insanely handsome Gage McCord and finds him giving her the come hither look, her first instinct is to run and hide. Men like Gage were dangerous. But when he begins to lay on the charm, she can't help but give in to it. What results is a steamy love affair that surprises both Gage and Emma... and may very well lead to the best man doing something he never imagined he would... and seeking a best man of his own.
