Perfectionistic Branna
Lind has found true love with James Newbern, but the winds of Hurricane Katrina
push their wedding date into an uncertain future. She can’t wait on Fleur de
Lis to be restored to marry James. They need to wed pronto, before she reveals
news sure to shock her family.
James is determined to
protect Branna. Since their engagement, his gun toting ex-fiancée has been
dipping into crazy. He’s certain she’ll settle down after the wedding, but when
she steals Branna’s heirloom pearls—her something old for the wedding—James
takes matters into his own hands. And despite Branna’s ranting, he’s not
agreeing to a quickie Vegas wedding. His fiancée will be a Fleur de Lis bride,
just as tradition dictates. Or he’ll die trying.
The path to “I do” is
more challenging than Branna and James ever imagined, but they’re determined to
get their happily ever after.
Excerpt:
“Who would do this?”
she wailed.
Bed linens, scooped
from the bed, were piled in a heap on the floor. The mattress ruined by a large
X from corner to corner, looked naked and raw. A bedside lamp had been smashed
against the wall. A gaping hole in the drywall sprouted pink insulation.
“Miss Lind. Do you
have any enemies? This appears to be a threat or a message rather than a
burglary. Can you identify anything taken?”
“My pearls?”
James stepped away.
She raced to her dresser, her heart thudding faster than racecar pistons, she
yanked on the top dresser drawer. A moment of hope shot through her as she
reached for the dark blue velvet box.
The string of
perfectly matched, white pearls were gone. Her wedding would be incomplete
without that special something old. The thief had robbed her unborn
child of a precious family heirloom. “Oh, God.”
Arriving at the RV, he
opened the door and climbed aboard. The passenger seat was empty. Where had
Branna gone?
“I’m back here,” she
called out. “I need your help, please.”
He paused at the
sweetness in her voice, a tone he hadn’t heard since before they postponed the
Labor Day weekend wedding. Her plea ignited his hero instincts. Anything for
his woman.
Checking the lock on
the door, he then made his way to the rear of the motorhome where blackout
shades shrouded the room in darkness. His eyes took a moment to adjust.
“Hey there, handsome,”
Branna cooed.
A spotlight over the bed
suddenly illuminated her. He sucked in a breath. Stretched out on white satin
sheets, Branna leaned against several pillows with one knee raised. The pearls
glistened around her neck… She motioned him closer.
Ravage popped into his
mind. He swallowed hard. He wanted to send her body into frantic need that only
he could satisfy. He let go of a ragged breath. All other thoughts faded away.
Only she existed in that moment.
