\nThe Hating Game meets One Plus One by JoJo Moyes in The Invitation, a slow burn, heated, emotional standalone from #1 New York Times bestseller, Vi Keeland. \n \nThe first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I'd received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. \n \nHudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I'd ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. \n \nI knew it wasn't a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. \n \nThough the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn't who I'd said I was. You see, that unexpected invitation I received? Well, it hadn't actually been addressed to me--it was sent to my ex-roommate who'd bounced a check for two months' rent and moved out in the middle of the night. I figured she owed me an expensive night out, but I guess, technically, I was crashing the wedding. \n \nOnce caught, I couldn't get out of there fast enough. As I bolted for the door, I might've plucked a few bottles of expensive champagne off the tables I passed, all while the gorgeous, angry groomsman was hot on my tail. \n \nOutside, I jumped into a taxi. My heart ricocheted against my ribs as we drove down the block--but at least I'd escaped unscathed. \n \nOr so I thought. \n \nUntil I realized I'd left my cell phone behind at the table. \n \nTake one guess who found it? \n \nThis is the crazy story of how Hudson Rothschild and I met. But trust me, it's only the tip of the iceberg.\n
