Playing football for a living, you’d think I’d wear shoulder pads and a helmet a lot more often than a tux, but you’d be surprised. Between charity galas and sponsor events, I’ve been custom fit more times than I can count. Plus Savannah, the Hollywood star, always asked me to be her plus one whenever she didn’t have a date for red-carpet premieres or awards ceremonies.

Not that I’ve had to do that in a while. Once the true story of how a small-town deputy captured her heart became public, Robbie’s become almost more famous than she is. Not that Savannah minds. She’s head-over-heels for him and Aaron, and I have no doubt her marriage to Robbie is built to last.

I adjust my vest and button my black jacket in the mirror as the banter from Robbie and the other groomsmen filters in from down the hallway. They’re waiting on me, but I take a second to adjust my cufflinks as I think about how right Savannah was. There is something special about Ravish Ridge and the people here.

But I’m still glad to know Kate is open to relocating. She’s still technically working tonight, covering the wedding, but at lunch, I negotiated a dance at the reception. This afternoon, I also read every article of hers I could get my hands on. She’s good, and I’m even more determined that once the celebration ends, nothing will stand in my way of pursuing her.

I press a hand to my stomach at the unusual sensation I haven’t felt in years. It’s a churning that isn’t pre-game jitters. It’s something entirely different. It’s Kate. She’s the one for me, and tonight, I’m going to confess how hard I’ve fallen for her and do my damnedest to convince her to give me a chance.

“Looking sharp, Asher!” Robbie says, clapping me on the back when I join the gathering in the living room.

“Saw the pictures of you and Kate at lunch, my friend,” Thad says, lifting his glass in my direction.

Ace nods and takes another sip of what looks like straight whiskey. “Ravish Ridge women are hard to resist.”

From what I hear, each of these guys, along with Noah, is in a loving, committed relationship after whirlwind romances. I’m green with envy, and it’s not a feeling I have a high tolerance for. The faster I can officially join their ranks the better.

“And to think,” Thad adds, “Just yesterday, Kate out-drove you on the golf course by what? A good twenty yards?”

“She’s got skills,” I admit, accepting the glass a server offers. Kate might have beaten me on the eighteenth hole, but it’s her intelligence, her drive, and her passion that won me over. And that fresh, sexy smile. She’s unlike any woman I’ve ever met.

“So you like her?” Robbie asks, eyeing me closely.

I take a sip of the smooth whiskey. “Shouldn’t you be more concerned about your wedding than my love life right now?”

“You know your sister,” he says with a grin. “If I don’t get the scoop, there’ll be hell to pay.
