Too Much in Love to Care

Taryn Briggs found the love of her life when she stopped to tow a stranded car owned by a beautiful blonde. Now she and Stephanie are engaged and planning their trip down the aisle. Life's just about perfect, but the one thing that would make it better for Taryn would be getting her brother Lachlan to show up for the ceremony. The only problem? Stephanie's brother Cooper is already a member of the wedding party, and the two men get along like cats and dogs. But surely Lachlan and Cooper can set their friction aside, just for one day?

Too Much in Love to Care is a 10k short story about a classic engagement, crazy wedding planning, two headstrong brothers, and a lesbian wedding to remember. This story first appeared in the anthology Love is All Volume 8.

Never Thought I’d Want You

Cooper Gander adores his sister, Stephanie. He's thrilled to be standing at her side as best man while she marries the woman she loves. He's determined to make the day go well and not get derailed by the presence of Taryn's brother Lachlan, a guy way too hot to have that stick up his ass. One day, and then Cooper won't have to see his annoying brother-in-law-to-be more than once in a blue moon. He can handle one day.

Lachlan Briggs will do anything for his baby sister. Even stand next to loud and proud Cooper, her fiancée's brother, in the wedding party. So what if Cooper evokes every emotion from envy to irritation to lust, dialed up to 11? This wedding isn't about them. Lachlan can control himself, keep his mouth shut, and ignore Cooper for just one day.

Never Thought I’d Want You is a 15k word enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, age-gap gay romance between a by-the-book lawyer, a freespirited advertising executive, and the wedding no one will ever forget. This novella first appeared in the anthology Save the Date.

Exclusive Excerpt

 

Never Thought I’d Want You

Cooper

Stephanie watched me intently. She did that—let me work through my ruminations until I was able to come to a conclusion. Hell, sometimes not even that. Sometimes I needed time to find the next sentence. “I could hit on the server again.”

“To make Lachlan jealous?”

I squinted. “Steph, he’s straight. Like a ramrod. Did you see that picture of him and what’s-her-name?”

“Lydia? I thought they made a striking couple, but she wasn’t right for him. He needs someone…softer. More considerate. Less self-obsessed.”

I eyed my sister. I didn’t think Lachlan deserved any of those things. I sighed. “He hates me.”

“He doesn't hate you. Lookjust keep him busy. He likes to be busy. He's busy all the timeno vacation time for Lachlan Briggs.”

“Fine, then. He and I can do all the last-minute wedding stuff.”
