Synopsis
We were like two
stars orbiting each other—dancing around the possibility that one day we might
collide. When we finally did, we opened up a black hole, obliterating
everything around us. No one would be the same.
Least of all, us.
Waking up in Vegas
married to the guy of your dreams sounds like a good thing, right? Not when
you’re Thea Montgomery and said guy is your brother’s best friend.
Thea and Xander
have always avoided the connection between them because her brother would never
approve. Now, they’re married— the strongest bond you can have as a couple—and
they’re not even a real couple…unless they want to be.
Thea wants an
annulment immediately, but Xander’s waited too long to see her become his and
he won’t let her go easily.
If she wants a
divorce, fine, but he wants the summer to convince her that he’s the one. If at
the end of the summer she still wants to end their marriage he’ll sign the
papers, but until then…
All is not fair
in love and war.
The first 3 chapters of When Stars Collide will be
going up on Wattpad soon.
Excerpt
Unedited and
subject to change.
Holy mother of all
hangovers.
I’d succumbed to
the lure of Vegas and gotten completely wasted. Granted, that’s what everyone
did in Las Vegas but I like to think I usually have more sense than
the social norm.
I rub my eyes and
blink them open. The hotel room comes into formation around me. The walls are a
warm golden color and the flat screen on the wall plays some home improvement
show. I can see the bathroom from the bed, the tiled walls and large soaking
tub.
I roll over onto my
side, hoping I can sleep off the hangover, and reel back.
“Oh my God,” I
cry, flailing in bed.
My legs kick the
sleeping guy beside me.
Not just any sleeping
guy.
Oh no.
Xander Kincaid, my
brother’s best friend, lays in the bed beside me.
His dark hair
tumbles over his forehead and his cheeks are covered with several days worth of
scruff. His chest is bare and…holy shit. He’s naked.
I look down.
Oh God, I’m naked
too.
“What’s wrong?” He
asks, reaching his left hand out to pull me closer to him. That’s when I see
it.
“Is that a wedding
band?” I scream shrilly.
His eyes narrow.
“You don’t fucking remember?”
I shake my head and
look at my own hand. A thin silver band rests on my finger. “What did we do?”
He sits up in bed
and I try to ignore how adorably rumpled he looks with his hair sticking up.
Everything begins
flooding back to me in quick bursts.
Drinks.
Kissing.
Laughter.
Confessions of love and desire.
A wedding chapel.
Vows.
Rings.
A contract.
“We’re married,” I whisper. “Holy shit.” It’s all I’ve ever wanted—to be with Xander, but not like this. Never like this. “My brother is going to kill us.”

What I remember the most about
that day was that it was completely ordinary. Then with one stupid decision
everything fell apart and nothing was ever the same.
Rae Wilder wants
nothing but a do over—but life doesn’t work that way. She’s stuck living out
the consequences of her actions. At times the burden feels unbearable.
College is supposed
to be her second chance.
New place.
New people.
New life.
No one to know what
she did.
Despite that, she
has still vowed to avoid everyone and everything at all costs.
Unfortunately for
her, an accidental run-in with the campus heartthrob, Cade Montgomery, derails
that plan.
He’s determined to
thaw the ice around her heart and expose the girl she used to be. He wants to
show her that life is worth living for and that she really is a Rae of
Sunshine.
