Description
What happens when a physical therapist who hates golf collides with a pro golfer staking everything on one last shot at the world's most chaotic country club wedding?
PGA hopeful Derek Couples has one shot left before he hangs up his dream. Years ago, he shared an unforgettable night with Jessica that sparked the best play of his career. There were just three problems: she loathed golf, gave him a fake name—She-Wolf—and vanished. Now she's back in a ridiculous peach chiffon bridesmaid dress, but doesn't remember him at all?
JESSICA
Some bridal party prisoners wore orange, others blue or green, but there was a special level of hell reserved for peach chiffon at a golf course wedding.
I loathed golf. Always had. It was just a tired excuse for day drinking and avoiding responsibility. But here I was, trapped as a last-minute bridesmaid with one final performance before I broke up with my cheating ex-boyfriend. That's when hypnotic electronic music thrummed from a dark sedan. The driver held me captive with a wolfish grin. Heat shot through me. An image flashed: those forearms in a different light, reaching, skin against skin.
Just wedding day stress. Just get through the day. Except my body wasn't listening. Especially when I saw the name embroidered on his bag.
DEREK
Wedding party laughter drifted across the course as I shouldered my bag, pushing away thoughts of bronzed legs wrapped around my waist.
Three years wondering if I'd imagined that night, if I'd conjured our connection. That night sparked the best golf of my life, until her silence destroyed it. I spiraled from PGA contender to washed-up hustler, haunted by her ghost. Now with one final shot at redemption she reappeared?
She-Wolf owed me an explanation. She needed to have her memories jogged. Now I have to trust my game and make every shot count.
Are they just playing a round, or is this the match of a lifetime?
