Planning His Wedding — Tressie Lockwood

Author's Note: This work is steamy but clean. It is the prequel to The Bribe and the Baby.

Shona Wells and Micah Reed have been friends since college. Everyone knows Shona loves Micah, but what does Micah feel for her? When Micah announces to Shona that he's getting married, she's shocked and hurt. She never thought he would step up to the plate with anyone--least of all the skank he's been dating.

Things get worse when his fiancee asks Shona to help her plan the wedding. Shona wants to say no, but how can she explain to her best friend that she can't support him during one of the most important times of his life? They've cried through the loss of a parent and laughed together through silly movies. Why can't Micah see her as more than a friend?

What Shona doesn't know is Micah has a secret--a big one he's kept from her for more than a decade. He can't marry her. The only option is to choose someone else. He knows he shouldn't ask her to help plan his wedding to another woman. Everyone knows Shona loves him, and he's seen it for years. They can't be together because of his secret. Although his heart is breaking, he'll do what he has to do.
