Crashing : The Wedding (The Crashing #0.5)
**This Book is a Standalone** It is a companion novella to The Crashing Series and
takes place before Crashing Back Down (book 1 in the series).
Well this is freaking great…
Right when my best friend’s wedding was in full swing, the flowers were paid for,
the dresses were being tailored and the bachelorette party was planned and
nonrefundable, the bomb gets dropped right on my doorstep at four in the morning.
“The Wedding is OFF!” Mags yelled right as I opened the door to my apartment.
Oh hell no! We’re not canceling these plans. I will make this work. I will get her and
Randy on track to walking down that freaking isle. I am getting to go on a
bachelorette weekend vacation to party with my best friend! This is happening
whether Mags and Randy like it or not.
That’s what a best friend is for, right?!

Excerpt
In my boots and cutoff jeans, I pulled open the heavy wooden door of The Saloon.
Whiskey and cigarette smoke burned my nostrils as I weaved around the packed bar
trying to find everyone. All of a sudden, I was scooped up from behind by my waist,
feet dangling in the air and the sound of Mitch’s voice trying to yell over the music,
“Mags! Found her! I found Cali!”
I playfully struggled in his arms, whipping around to throw my arms around one of
my best friends in the world. Mags, Randy, and Walker weren’t too far behind and
right as Walker put a drink in my hand, Mags’ and my favorite line dancing song
came on. We handed our beers off to the guys and darted to the middle of the
wooden floor to boot stomp to Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne.
By the end of the fast-paced song, we were sweating and panting as we giggled off
the dance floor.
As he handed me back my beer, Randy shouted, “Thanks for everything, Cal. Mags
told me you made her see clearly again.”
I shoved his shoulder. “Don’t mention it. Besides, who can ever deny making sure
true love finds a way?”
He laughed at me and hugged me around my shoulders. It was palpable what a good
guy Randy was and how much he cared about everyone. It was also so freaking
shocking that he and Walker were as good of friends as they were.
Walker was a two-timing, womanizing bag of dicks that had no respect for anyone
except himself, and I felt like I was the only one that saw through the fakeness of his
coy smile and good looks.
“So how does it feel to be out of the bar business for good?” Mags beamed at me as
Randy wrapped his hands around her middle.
I took a long swig. “Fucking fantastic!”
“Can you believe we’re all growing up?” Walker chimed in, handing each of us a shot.
I smelled the straight Jameson, shivers immediately radiating down my spine.
“Whiskey? Really?”
Walker winked and held his shot glass in the air to make a toast. “To Cali and her
new job, and to us, the five best friends!”
