women in relationships—and the history between them was too complex for anything casual. He knew things about her he doubted she’d told anyone.Plus, she essentially paid his dad’s salary.
    None of that mattered, anyway, he thought as the massive rock on her finger caught a ray of sun and blinded him.
    Taken.
    She laid her wetsuit on a flat rock and lowered herself onto it, letting out a deep sigh. Seeing her in the bunny costume had made him half hard. Seeing her spread out in the sun finished that job.
    He pretended to be busy checkingthe raft as the others ate, but the pull of her was too hard to ignore. He should probably see how she was doing. After all, she was the bride, and his company had been hired to make her happy. As the others chatted and ate, he sat down next to her on the rock.
    “You’re blocking my sun.”
    “I thought you bride types avoided the sun so you didn’t get weird tan lines.”
    She gave him a squinty smileunder the shade of her hand. “Shows what you know. I have a skin colorist who can help me even out the tone. Plus I’m wearing SPF eight million.”
    “A skin what?”
    “You probably don’t want to know.”
    “Definitely not.” Nearly fifteen years of awkward silence piled up between them. He cleared his throat. “So the big day’s in just a couple of weeks, huh?”
    “Yeah.”
    “I hear wedding planning can bestressful.”
    She snorted. “If I survive this, it’ll be a miracle.” Crunching up, she glanced at Polly and Ruby as if to make sure they were out of earshot. “Those two have been like the twin spawns of Satan. Seriously, planning this rafting trip is the only good thing they’ve done.”
    “I thought bridesmaids are supposed to help the bride.”
    “Yeah, me too. But they can’t agree on anything. If wedon’t find a bridesmaid dress they agree on, I swear I’m going to make them wear these Farmer Jane things. Actually, no, Polly would probably love that. And I can’t make them go naked because Ruby would love that.”
    “Burlap sacks?”
    “Not a bad idea. I’ll see if my parents have any extras.” She sat up and crossed her legs. “Okay, you helped me solve that problem. Now what about when the bride andgroom have completely different taste in music?”
    “Easy. Whoever likes country western wins.”
    She grinned. “Good. That’s me.”
    “I heard Jake Kohl’s singing at your wedding.”
    “Yep. Want his autograph?”
    He laughed and shook his head. “I’m not really an autograph collector. I just think it’s pretty amazing how you’ve managed to make this life for yourself.”
    She blinked. “Was that a compliment?”

    “Yeah, it shocked me, too.” His mouth twisted in a wry smile. “Weirdly, I don’t want to take it back. I guess I must mean it.”
    “Well, obviously. I’ve never known you to say things you don’t mean. I’m just confused because I’ve also never known you to say anything complimentary to me.”
    His neck warmed. “That can’t be true.” Surely it couldn’t. He thought nice things about her. He just…shit. Hejust wasn’t good at getting them from his brain to his mouth.
    “Anyway, I don’t know that I made my life this way. It just sort of happened.”
    “Please don’t feed me that false modesty bullshit. I’m not some women’s magazine that wants to see a humble version of you. I know where you came from, sweetheart. You didn’t grow up in Hollywood, hobnobbing with agents and producers. You worked hard, andit’s paying off. It’s…admirable.”
    She clutched her chest. “ Two compliments? You’ve changed, Mr. Wilder.”
    He wasn’t the only one, a fact his traitorous body reminded him of as she loosened her mocking grip on her chest. He wanted to rub away any pain she’d inflicted on her smooth skin, maybe move from rubbing to kissing to licking—
    “What about you?” she asked, interrupting his fantasy. “I sawthat store of yours—and what you charge for this bathing suit. You must
