About MAY THE BEST MAN WIN
Opening five lines:
On the upside, the prelude had already begun, and chances were good that
Mozartโs Sonata in E-flat Major pumping through all those organ pipes would
cover any sounds of distress emanating from St. Aโs sacristy.
Jase Foster crouched in front of Dean Skolnic, groom du jour, and cursed. This
had to stop happening.
โYou think sheโs gonna notice?โ Dean asked, wincing as Jase pulled one strip of
duct tape after another off the garbage bag of ice currently secured to Deanโs
shoulder.
โThe arm?โ Jase clarified, because while he wasnโt an every-Sunday kind of guy,
they were in a church so he couldnโt flat-out lie.
Theme: Enemies-to-lovers, second-chances
Inspired by: An intense discussion over the myriad flavors
of โHOTโ guys came inโฆand the subsequent dive into Pinterestโs man-candy files
that left me with a handful of โtuxedo-fineโ morsels, and a story idea about a
group of best men I just couldnโt ignore.
Seriously, how did Jase Foster keep getting this gig?
Obviously, the guys loved him. Couldnโt get enough of the whole bromance
business Jase had perfected back before it was even a thing. But the women? Come
on, like they hadnโt heard about the time Jase got Neil Wallace to the altar a
mere two hours lateโbecause the boat they took out that morning on a whim ran
out of gas.
Most distinguishing physical trait: Tall. Coming in at
5โ11โ sheโs usually the tallest woman in the roomโฆand in weddings, universally
paired up with the tallest man. Which is only a problem when Jase Foster happens
to be in the party too.
Celebrity casting: Rachel McAdams
Career and hobbies: Public Relations. Enjoys running,
cooking and quality time with her girls.
Biggest pet peeve: Jase Foster.
About Jase Fosterโฆ
1.Jaseโs first thoughts about Emily:
The sacristy door swung open again and that old familiar tension knuckled down
Jaseโs spine. He took her in with one sweeping glance and thenโjust to piss her
offโwent back for a second, slower pass. She should have looked like Natasha
Fatale from those old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. She had the height, all
right, but instead of the severe black hair, wickedly arched brows, bombshell
body, and calculating scowl, Emily was every kind of soft. Soft strawberry-blond
hair spiraling in loose curls over her shoulders. Big, soft-brown eyes. And a
soft, shy smile that hid her poison-dart tongue. Even her body, tall and
athletically lean, had a softness to its modest curvesโcurves that had
distracted the hell out of Jase in high school but that heโd become immune to in
the passing years.
Since heโd finally seen through her soft snow job to the cold, hard ice
queen beneath.
โJackass,โ she greeted, with a soft smile just for him.
Most distinguishing physical trait: Even taller. Coming in
at 6โ5โ Jase really tries not to speculate about what kind of perfect fit he and
Emily might make.
Celebrity casting: Henry Cavil
Career and hobbies: Banker. Enjoys โGuysโ nights, shooting
hoops and watching the games with his friends.
Biggest pet-peeve: Emily Klein
About THE BEST MEN SERIES
Nutshell: The Best Men series centers around a tight knit
group of crazy hot, relationship challenged bachelors with a knack for scoring
all the top best man gigs.
Setting: The Lakeview neighborhood of Chicagoโbecause back
when I was young and cool (read: before I had a zillion kids) (side note: I use
the term โcoolโ loosely) it was one of my favorite places to hang out!
Books: There are four books in the series: MAY THE BEST MAN
WIN, BEST MAN FOR THE JOB, BEST MAN WITH BENEFITS, and STAND IN BEST MAN.
Connected Stand Alones: Each book in the series follows a
different hero to their HEA and promises plentiful fun, flirt, and sizzle.
(Read: Mira doesnโt skimp on shirtless hero time.)
Last word: These guys have been such a blast to write and I
hope youโll give them a read.

Four friends Each a Best Man at a wedding One chance to get it
right
Jase Foster can't believe his bad luck. He's been paired with
the she-devil herself for his best friend's wedding: Emily Klein of the
miles-long legs and killer smile. She may be sin in a bridesmaid dress, but
there's no way he's falling for her again.
They can barely stand each
other, but given how many of their friends are getting married, they'll just
have to play nice-at least when they're in company. Once they're alone, more
than just gloves come off as Jase and Emily discover their chemistry is
combustible, and there may be something to this enemies to lovers thing after
all...
