More Wild Book Boyfriends eBundle - Small Town Sports Romance

Plus One.

The two words every single woman dreads when she opens up a wedding invitation from her ex-boyfriend and sees he’s trying to be chivalrous. Kind. Possibly generous. You can bring a plus one. Sure, you can. I’m getting married, so I’m clearly not threatened, and I’ve obviously moved on. Have you? If you have, then you’ll have no problem filling in the space next to your name with a “plus one.”

I stare at the gold embossed envelope in my lap. My work shift has just ended, but I stay sitting inside the safety of the Lucky Bay Pool Hall cashier’s booth because I need the privacy. 

With shaking hands, I reread the thick embossed page inviting me to attend the wedding of my ex-boyfriend and his new partner, about to become his husband. And I stare at the blank space where my plus one is supposed to be. 

Then, because I’m a masochist right now and old memories are center stage in my mind, I flip through my phone until I find the online video that went viral and altered the course of my life.

Me—grainy but clearly me, naïve and barely twenty-two—on stage with my guitar at a bar in Los Angeles. Happy as can be, my long blond ponytail swinging behind me as I strum the chords to the song I’d just finished writing the night before. The camera shifts to Trevor, my boyfriend at the time, making out in the crowd with someone, someone who clearly isn’t me. Max. My manager. Who I trusted. 

The camera shifts back to me, and my horrified face as recognition sets in because somebody put the spotlight on my boyfriend and my manager in the crowd. I’ll never know who did it, who literally shined the light on the lie that was defining my life, but I’m actually grateful to the misguided angel. Because if I hadn’t found out, and Trevor and I had kept dating and built a future like we’d planned…well, my life would be in a far worse hell than it is.

I still remember staggering home alone to my threadbare apartment that night. I was teary-eyed and lost. But then Ayden called. Ayden Wild, my best friend and lifeline since I was three years old. He asked me what was wrong, and I poured my heart out. He let out a string of curse words when I told him about Trevor.

“I’m getting on the next flight out,” he said immediately. “I’ll be there as soon as I can, Bella.”

I glanced at the wall behind my bed, at the postcard of the stately Lucky Bay lighthouse effortlessly withstanding the rough Maine seas. Ayden had sent me that postcard a month earlier—he had told me to tack it up so I could look at it whenever I felt homesick. The town lighthouse felt like my sanctuary, calling me home when I was feeling so lost. That lighthouse reminded me of Maine, and comfort, and Ayden.

And that was the moment it hit me. “There’s nothing here for me anymore, Ayden.” My voice choked up as I realized for the first time how true that statement was.

“I’m here for you, Bella.” His voice was rough and sure, and I clutched at the phone like I was holding onto him. “I’m here.”

When I didn’t say anything, he added in a tone so low I barely heard him, “I dare you.”

I dare you.

Like always, Ayden gave me exactly what I needed from him.

Shivers ran through my body, and he added softly, “Come home.”
