I was coasting along, living life, but not living it to the fullest.
I was going through the motions. Complacent. Static.
Until that night in December.
One night with a stranger in a sleepy tourist town changed everything
for me.
And I can’t get Grace off my mind.
No last name, no address, nothing. So imagine my surprise when I see
her again and realize how closely our lives are intertwined.
Whether she likes it or not, she’s stuck with me for now and I have
plans to make our arrangement a permanent one.
The Best Man is a dual POV standalone in The Chesapeake Shores
series. It follows The IT Guy.

Excerpt:
Excerpt from The Best
Man by Andi Burns
“So, where are we headed tomorrow?” He asks.
“What? Nowhere. We are not headed anywhere. If Elaine needs me to,
I might be going to see another photographer after I check out a venue, but you are not
invited.”
“Why the hostility? You’ve been mad since we got in the car to go meet
the photographer.”
His question is sincere; there’s no malice behind it. He’s not even being
snarky. And yet, he’s still pissing me off.
And that pisses me off.
And I don’t know what to do about it.
So I take a drink.
And snack on some nachos. I can’t answer if I’m chewing--that’s just
rude.
“Wow, you must be really hungry and thirsty…” He deadpans.
I nod, because my mouth is full. Also, if I open my mouth (once I’m
finished chewing, of course), I might say hateful things.
“You’re also thoroughly pissed at me.”
Still chewing. Yep, chewing really well. No choking hazards
here.
“And I can’t figure out why.”
I take a sip. You know, to aid with the chewing
He arches an eyebrow at me, and I might have returned it with half a
smirk. But only half. I’ve given him too much of myself already.
In a move that would rival the swiftness of an NBA star, Ev swipes the
nacho platter in one hand and my water in the other, holding both just out of my reach.
Now, at 5’10”, I’m a tall gal. I’ve got long limbs. But he’s taller. And he’s
got the wingspan of a condor. So unless I want to cause a scene in this restaurant, I’m not getting my
food or beverage back any time soon.
“Really? You’re withholding food and drink?”
“Yep.” I want to wipe that smile right off his face.
“You want to know why you piss me off?”
“I do.”
“Fine. It’s because no one pisses me off. I am fucking charming and
Goddamn delightful at all times.” I tell him this as I’m basically breathing fire in his direction.
“You were fucking charming and goddamn delightful when I met you in
December, “ he confirms.
“Right? That was me in my natural habitat. I. Am. Lovely.” I
seeth.
“While I’m in full agreement, the steam that’s virtually spewing from
your ears causes me a moment’s hesitation.” Ev says.
“It’s because you’re back! You’re not supposed to be back! And you’re
Elaine’s brother. You are not supposed to be Elaine’s brother!”
“Should I be taking notes as to all the things I’m not supposed to be or
do?”
“No.” I roll my eyes.
“Wait, so is asking you if I should take notes one of the things I’m not
supposed to do? Or is taking notes the thing I shouldn’t do? I’m just seeking clarification.”
“Oh, my God. None of this is going to matter because I’m going to
strangle you.”
“Best to wait until after the boudoir shoot, don’t you think? You don’t
want to rouse Lori’s suspicions. Plus, I know you want to see me naked again.”
This standalone is #2 in Andi Burns’s Chesapeake Shores Series and
