Blame it on the Kiss
By Robin Bielman
Synopsis
The one guy she shouldn’t want…
Honor Mitchell has lived with
guilt and regret for a long time, so when she promises to do the things on her
dying best friend’s wish list, she’s determined to follow through and do
something right for a change. But when she’s thrown together for wedding duties
with the one man who complicates her vow–just by looking at him–she has to put
her faith in Bryce Bishop’s pledge to help her, no strings attached.
Bryce’s near one-night stand with
his ex-girlfriend’s best friend a few months ago might have been a mistake, but
helping the beautiful, free-spirited Honor with her promise isn’t. His trust in
women is shot, but he can’t help but play his best man card to his advantage
and help Honor tick off the items on his ex’s list, even if it puts him in a
no-win situation. Because his assistance might get Honor what she wants, but
suddenly being the do-good guy puts his plans–and heart–in serious jeopardy.

Excerpt
Bryce stared at her. Most girls
would’ve had a fit if the sprinklers had soaked them. Not only had Honor
laughed it off, she looked amazing and none the worse for wear as the pink
light of the toy ring glowed at her waist.
“Do not tell me you have x-ray
vision and can see the color of my undergarments, because then I’d have to use
this magic ring to one, make you color blind, and two, make your clothes
disintegrate so everyone could see if you’re a boxer or briefs man.”
His grin came quick and easy.
“You want to see what I have on underneath my jeans, all you have to do is
ask.”
“No thanks.” She stopped in front
of him.
“You sure?”
“Positive.”
“You don’t look positive.”
“How do I look?”
He took a slow inspection down her
body and back up. “You really want me to answer that?”
“Boy, you had me fooled there for
a minute Captain Underpants, but I see you’re just like every other guy, which
is a huge relief, I can’t even tell you.” She brushed by him and headed toward
the front door.
“What does that mean?” He fell in
step beside her. Something didn’t feel right inside him. He didn’t like being
lumped in with all guys.
“Here,” she slipped the ring off
her finger and dropped it into their bag. “Be a good partner and turn our stuff
in so I can raid Sophie’s closest for something to change in to.”
“Grab me one of Zane’s shirts,
would you?”
She paused at the porch to slip
off her shoes and slowly rake her eyes down and up his body. Touché. “Really?
Zane’s got all sorts of muscle going on and I’m not sure—”
He whipped off his shirt. Honor
was messing with him, but he wanted to remind her Zane didn’t have anything on
him. He took care of his body, often working out with the guys he represented.
He put forth the best image possible for his agency and that included being in
good physical shape.
The appreciative look in her eyes
told him she liked what she saw. She’d had her hands all over his chest in
their hotel room, and if he closed his eyes he knew he’d remember exactly how
hot her touch had made him.
“Can I ask you something?” he
ventured.
“Okay,” she said to his chest.
“Eyes up here, sweetheart.” He
motioned his hand in the direction of his face.
Her cheeks reddened. “Sorry,
yes?”
“Have you had your one night
stand?” He fisted his hands. It didn’t matter. It shouldn’t matter. But for
some reason, he wanted to know. She might not be wired for it, but according to
Payton, the two of them were like sisters, and if Honor promised to do the
things on Payton’s list, he imagined she would keep that vow.
She gulped and again he could see
her mind at work in the way she blinked and her head tilted a fraction to the
side. “No.” A crease drew her brows together. “But I might be able to remedy
that these next few days. A couple of Zane’s friends seem like they’d be
willing to help me out.”
No doubt. “People hook up at
weddings all the time, don’t they?”
“That’s what I hear.”
