Description

About the book

He was supposed to marry her. He was always meant to choose him.

Cam Bellamy has a thriving coffee roastery, a beautiful fiancée, and a picture-perfect October wedding at a lakeside lodge in the Finger Lakes. There is only one problem: the person who makes his pulse race isn’t standing at the altar. He is standing next to it.

Wesley Calder has loved his best friend for years. He manages it the way he manages everything—quietly, competently, and while making sure everyone else is okay. Being Cam’s best man is supposed to be the final endurance test: straighten the tie, deliver the toast, and leave before anyone sees him break.

Then Cam calls off the wedding hours before the ceremony. Not for Wes, he insists. But a severe storm traps the wedding party at the lodge, the last available room has one bed, and the feelings both men have kept hidden have nowhere left to go.

Three days. One lodge. A cancelled wedding, a storm that won’t quit, and a best man who is tired of pretending he doesn’t want to be the groom. Cam has already walked away from the future everyone expected. Now he has to find the courage to name the one he actually wants.
