"Twenty-four hours before we were to be married-- I offered to shoot her. Ten hours before our wedding-- I made a mockery of her dying wish. Five hours before we were going to say our vows-- I promised I''d never love her. One hour before I said I do-- I vowed I''d never shed a tear over her death. But the minute we were pronounced man and wife-- I knew I''d only use my gun to protect her. I''d give my life for hers. I''d cry. And I would, most definitely, lose my heart, to a dying girl-- a girl who by all accounts should have never been mine in the first place. I always believed the mafia would be my endgame--where I''d lose my heart, while it claimed my soul. I could have never imagined it would be my redemption. Or the beginning of something beautiful. The beginning of her. The end of us"--Page 4 of cover.

Lead singer of AD2 Demetri Daniels only wants one thing... To marry the love of his life and make the day perfect for her. But perfect isn''t exactly happening - not with his sister-in-law going into labor, or with rabid fans discovering their wedding location, or birds suddenly attacking the rehearsal dinner. It doesn''t help matters that his bride-to-be is starstruck as singer Ashton Hyde makes a drop-in appearance to start recording their new album. Nothing is going right. And it''s about to get worse.

They''re not kids anymore, but Milo Caro is certain that Colton Mathews will only see her as his best friend''s little sister for the rest of their lives.

Milo vows to use the wedding to either claim the smoldering firefighter''s heart or douse this torch for good. When Max--her best friend from college, who may be carrying a torch of his own--crashes the party, they devise a plan to make Colt see what he''s missing. But after Colt catches on, he decides to cook up his own revenge.
