The Honeymoon

A WILDE BROTHERS SHORT

—I loved this novella! It’s sweet, romantic, and at times, LOL funny. This is the second book in The Wilde Brothers series. Joe is one of the five, oh-so-gorgeous, Wilde brothers. He and Margaret have been married for two days and it's now time for them to go on their honeymoon trip. Unknown to Margaret, Joe has planned for the two of them to go camping. – Reviewer, Reading Fanatic

—This was really funny, and kind of sweet. Different people's reactions to the honeymoon camping trip that Joe planned for Margaret had me laughing out loud.— Reviewer, Jigsaw Girl

In THE HONEYMOON, when Joe Wilde surprises his new bride, Margaret, with a honeymoon, she is speechless—but not from surprise! The honeymoon is nothing like what she expected, not a sandy beach some place hot, not even a romantic cruise. Instead, Joe wants to take her camping in the middle of nowhere.

Margaret has her doubts, especially when Joe ignores her worries about the trip. She soon wonders, should she be running the other way?

Chapter One

She threw me out! Samuel Wilde dumped a large green duffle bag in the middle of Joe’s living room floor with a clunk, leaving the front door wide open. He was the shortest of the Wilde brothers—Joe, Logan, Ben, and Jake—standing at six foot two, and he was also the one who lived on the edge, with longish hair touching the collar of his shaggy leather jacket. Make no mistake, though: He was still a damn handsome man.

Margaret came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on a dishcloth. Her husband, Joe, stepped behind her, setting his large, callused hand on her shoulder. Before she could take another step, he slid his solid arm around her and pulled her close so she could feel all his hardness, every warm part of him that drove her wild at night, in the morning, and every time they were together. His arms were so solid and strong that she believed they could shelter her from anything bad that came her way.

Margaret was tall for a woman, standing at five foot nine in flats, but her husband still had five inches on her. When she turned in his arms, she had to glance up, and her stomach did that funny fluttering thing it did each time she took in the sharp, handsome features that took her breath away. He set a kiss to her lips as she scraped her fingers over the shadow on his chin. He still hadn’t found time to shave that day.

Are you two listening to me? Samuel stalked past them on the hardwood floor, which creaked under his weight, his hiking boots tracking dirt into the kitchen—Joe’s kitchen. Margaret still had the house down the road, which she’d inherited from her grandfather, and they had yet to agree on where they were going to live. Actually, Margaret realized, there was a lot that still hadn’t been decided since their wedding two days before.

Who threw you out? Joe asked.
