| Buy One Night with the Bride HERE |
By

Imagine:
A week before her wedding, the bride flies across the country to have a
one-night stand with another man. Oh my gosh, are you as appalled as I am by
that bitch’s behavior?
Okay,
but what if someone else arranges the one-night stand as a surprise gift? What
if her own mother gives it to her?
What if she has no intention of going through with the liaison? What if she
just wants one last glimpse of “the one that got away” before her wedding? What
if her marriage is a cool business arrangement, rather than a love match? What
if she holds faithfulness as the most important element of a relationship and
vows never to cheat?
One
of my favorite parts of writing romance is creating these larger than life
scenarios and convincing readers that our flawed but likeable characters
deserve unwavering support and ultimately a happily-ever-after with the right
person.
I
loved writing Caroline and giving her a HEA with the man she was meant to be
with. Someday I’m going to give her poor groom his own well-deserved happy
ending with a woman who will truly make him happy too. What about you? What
fictional character have you cheered for despite dubious behavior or actions?
When her society matron mother
presents Caroline with a one-night stand date a week before her wedding, she’s
appalled. Even worse, the encounter will take place at the fantasy ranch resort
operated by her high school lover, Javier Alvarado. Although determined to
remain faithful to her fiancé, she’s tempted and intrigued to see her first
love again. It’s not like she has to sleep with him.
But one look and kiss later, she
yearns for the man she walked away from so long ago. Unfortunately, when Javier
discovers Caroline is engaged, all he can see is deception and heartbreak all
over again.
Can a 1Night Stand from Madame Eve
reunite them or will one night with the bride sever their ties forever?
Excerpt
Javier
led Caroline to the seclusion of the stable then spun to face her. “Are you
buttering up my employees to gather secrets about my resort so you can
undermine my success and create your own for Sunburst Hotels?”
She
blinked, her blue eyes owlish and innocent. “You think I arrived in a
helicopter and announced my presence to the entire county to engage in
corporate espionage? Granted, I don’t have any prior experience, but I think
I’d take the under-the-radar approach. Arrive in a rental car and check in
anonymously. Maybe apply for a job as a janitor.”
Okay,
so he’d accused before thinking the idea through. Her closeness rendered him
temporarily insane. He gripped her upper arms. “What are you doing then?”
“For
Sunburst Hotels? Absolutely nothing. I quit my job a month ago.”
“You
want to apply as my private janitor? I’m only in my office at night, and if you
came in I guarantee you wouldn’t be emptying garbage cans.”
Her
eyes grew even more luminous. “What would I be doing?”
“Stripping,
so I could take you on my desk.”
Her
lips parted, as if the image turned her on.
The
hell with the desk. He pulled her flush to his body, wanting her immediately—in
the stable, on his real turf.
“Wait.”
She pushed against his chest. “We can’t just pick up where we left off fifteen
years ago.”
“Why
not? We’re two consenting, unattached adults.”
Of
course, they had issues from the past to work through. But when they’d been
together, she understood him the way no one else ever had.
“Um.”
Her gaze dropped away from his. “Actually, I’m not unattached. I’m engaged.”

Sounds like a GREAT book!
That IS an interesting scenario. Better to be sure though, if you're going to marry, that you're marrying the right one! It reminds me of Susan Elizabeth Phillips last two books. One where a bride changes her mind right at the last minute and in the next book, we see what happens after she runs out of the church.
