Both my 2010 books – MAD, BAD AND BLONDE and LUCK BE A LADY (in stores Oct 5) open with a wedding. The opening line of MAD, BAD AND BLONDE is “It was the perfect day for a wedding. Too bad the groom didn’t show up.” My heroine, Faith West, is left at the altar in Chicago.
The next book LUCK BE A LADY opens with the line “It was the perfect day for a wedding. Thank goodness the groom showed up.” Faith is marrying her hero, Caine, at the lovely Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas but their wedding is interrupted. Megan, the heroine of LUCK BE A LADY, is not about to allow anyone to mess up her cousin’s wedding. She doesn’t care who he is. As a cop, Logan Doyle is used to having his orders obeyed quickly. He’s not used to a woman like Megan.
So much time, money and energy is put into the wedding preparation but some things you just can’t anticipate. Such was the case with Faith being jilted. Such was also the case with maid of honor Megan refusing to accept any unexpected interruptions in her cousin’s wedding.
Here’s a sneak peek at LUCK BE A LADY:
Too hot to be kept in the archives…
Retro-loving librarian Megan West wants her cousin’s wedding to be perfect. Held in Vegas’s glamorous Venetian hotel, it’s bound to be. That is until brash cop Logan Doyle bursts in, ruining everything. Now Megan must salvage this disaster…
The shocking news Logan reveals not only threatens the wedding but unravels everything Megan thought to be true of her own life. Now, to make things right, Logan sets off with her on a whirlwind tour across Nevada to put the pieces of her life together. It may be a gamble of a lifetime, but there’s a marriage to salvage – and perhaps a love affair of their own in the cards…
