A spicy standalone novel from New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy!

Three is definitely not a crowd…

Claire McKinley has just experienced every bride's nightmare: the groom is a no-show, and now she must face five hundred guests alone. Furious and humiliated, she seeks help from the most unlikely candidate: her almost-brother-in-law. The tall, handsome SEAL quickly takes charge, whisking her away to his apartment in San Diego, where she can recover her pride in peace and quiet.

Dylan Wade is no fan of Claire's, but he can't ignore the jilted bride in her time of need. Especially when it's his cowardly older brother who created this mess. Bringing Claire home seems like a good idea-until he remembers his new roommate. Dylan's relationship with Aidan Rhodes is…complicated.

And with Claire thrown into the mix, life becomes even more…complicated.

Claire is blindsided by her attraction not only to Dylan, but to Aidan, a man she's just met. Soon the three of them are swept away up by all-consuming passion they can't fight even if they wanted to. But when their hearts get involved, Claire wonders if this crazy, amazing, unconventional arrangement can last.

Or if she's just setting herself up for more heartache.
