It started as a dare… 
 
Best friends Lexie and Scarlet are attending their ninth – or is it tenth? – wedding this summer. To keep things fresh, they've upped their game. With bingo. To win, all Lexie must do is complete her scorecard first. 
 
A tipsy bridesmaid? Tick! 
An awkward best man's speech? Tick! 
A terrible DJ? Tick! 
And finally: Kiss a groomsman… 
 
But Lexie hasn't gambled on finding not one but two gorgeous groomsmen. Chris, tall, dark and handsome – and leaving for New York tonight – and charmingly rugged farmer Josh. 
 
True love could be on the cards. If Lexie can make the right choice, right now…
