A Long Time Coming

"Have you ever heard of a man-in-waiting?" Yes, Breaker Cane included, not many have. However, Lia Fairweather-Fern, his best friend, needs further assistance in order to get married. For this reason, she has enlisted him to battle Mrs. Beaver, her soon-to-be monster-in-law, who is a snarling beast. Somehow, the mother of the groom doesn't appear to have heard the saying "What the bride wants, the bride gets." Breaker is fortunate for Lia, as he rises to the task. How much trouble can one lady really cause, after all? The truth is, Lia is the one causing Breaker the most trouble—not Mrs. Beaver. For every second that passes till her wedding, he begins to perceive her differently. She has always been stunning, but right now he finds himself staring at her for a little too long and holding her hand for an extra minute. What happens when she's upset? letting her sleep on his mattress. He feels as though he has fallen deeply in love with his best buddy before he even realizes it. There's nothing waking him up from it. not the woman he makes an attempt to date while arranging the wedding. Not the progressively suspicious fiancé of Lia. Not even the deadline of her impending wedding. That means he has one more chance to convince Lia that he is the one she should be with. It will also be far more difficult than he anticipates.
