Marrying My Sister's Ex

Synopsis

At the engagement party, my older sister flipped the table and blasted her fiancé, Carlos Mendes, calling him nothing but an uncultured roughneck with new money. She ripped up their custom wedding invitations in front of everyone and threw herself into the arms of some broke, indie poet. "I need a soulmate!" she screamed. "Not a guy who constantly reeks of coal dust!" Carlos just stood there. His fists were clenched so tight his nails dug into his palms, his eyes burning a furious, bloodshot red. The entire town was watching the Holloway family become a massive joke. Mom and Dad looked so mortified they wished the floorboards would just swallow them whole. I walked right up to the mess, grabbed a bottle of top-shelf bourbon, and poured two glasses. I shoved one into Carlos's hand. "Going from my sister's fiancé to my husband... sounds like a fun scandal." I knocked my drink back, flashed him the empty glass, and locked eyes with him. "Carlos Mendes, you got the guts to bet big with me?"
