Always a Blogger. Never a Bride?
Word on the street is that Sawyer Wallace, editor in chief of our favorite—but financially strapped—local paper, has been offered a hot deal to save the Bayside Bugle! All he’s got to do is reveal the identity of the Bayside Blogger. Even if doing so means losing Riley Hudson, his oldest friend. And, maybe, the woman making him rethink his singleton status!
Riley’s just as crazy about her best bud and boss—which is why she’s always kept him at a distance. Plus, only Sawyer knows her real identity. Talk about compromising positions... Would revealing the truth destroy their chance at leaving the friendzone? Or perhaps there will be wedding bells for this couple, who truly are meant for each other!
He placed the blanket around her shoulders and adjusted it so that it covered all of her. But he lingered. And his fingers brushed over her collarbone, inciting another shiver that had nothing to do with the weather.
Sawyer must have noticed and his eyes focused on her lips. Before she could protest, he was tugging the blanket toward him, which had the added effect of bringing her right to him. Riley raised her head. Big mistake. It only put his sumptuous mouth in front of her.
How could she resist?
They stood like that for a moment. A long, heated moment. She didn’t know who moved first. Maybe they both did. She let out a gasp and then once again, their lips met.
Who knew Sawyer Wallace could kiss like this? If he wasn’t holding her up by the blanket, her knees would have given out.
After what felt like hours, they parted. Gently, he kissed the tip of her nose before pulling her in for a long hug.
“Riley, that was—”
“Something that absolutely cannot happen again,” she finished sadly.
