Blurb:
Amy and Craig were officially engaged, which had been widely celebrated by the townspeople who were now eagerly waiting for the nuptial announcement. Overcoming all obstacles to get to this point in their relationship Amy realizes there will be a few more before they get to tie the knot. Planning a wedding should be a piece of cake … after all, everyone in town is as eager as they are for the planned nuptials. Too eager, as things turn out
Craig is eager to keep their weddings plans to themselves in an attempt to keep the hype under control but avoiding the enthusiastic interference of the townspeople is the least of their worries… Everyone it would seem was happy about the impending wedding or are they?
Will the wedding go off without a hitch or will evil step in and keep them apart in the end?
Excerpt
Amy Barrett stretched and opened her eyes, then grinned when she realized she was in Craig’s bed at the ranch. She spotted the ring sitting snugly on the ring finger of her left hand. She was engaged.
Finally.
It had taken a few false starts—one of which she’d had no knowledge of—but she was officially an engaged woman. Now all she had to do was run the gauntlet of the gossips, her mother, and the engagement party the town would expect before she could even begin to contemplate a wedding.
Her mother would demand New York City nuptials, complete with every socialite and celebrity residing on the island of Manhattan. Amy wouldn’t be surprised if the guest list her mother penned included the mayor.
If she managed to escape an over-the-top New York wedding befitting someone of her mother’s status, Amy would then have to fight the locals—more specifically, the local gossip group—to have the wedding she wanted.
Amy wondered what they had planned. She had no doubt the ceremony would be held in the church, followed by a reception in the town hall. Amy also knew the entire town would expect invitations.
First, she needed to survive an engagement party. Her mother wouldn’t be too concerned with the party—she would only care about the wedding. Her mother wasn’t big on engagement parties. Although, when she’d failed to score an invitation to the society event of the season a few years’ back, she had been livid and had taken to her bed for two days.
Her mother had only emerged when the happy couple eloped in Vegas the morning after their engagement. “Of all places.” Her mother had laughed for days. “So tacky.” She had been even happier when the marriage dissolved after just a few short months. “Look what happens when you choose sleaze instead of class.”
Amy’s eyebrow rose as she thought it might, perhaps, be what she should do. Elope. She hugged her pillow to herself. Her mother would have a complete meltdown, which made it even more appealing.
She rolled over lazily to look at the clock. It was almost lunch time. She threw back the covers and reached for her robe, then made her way downstairs, surprised at the quiet. Craig was an early riser, even on a Saturday. She expected to find him cooking up a wonderful meal for their lunch, but frowned when she found the kitchen empty.
Amy shrugged and lifted the coffee pot, then poured some into the mug Craig always set out for her. He was the most practical and thoughtful man she had ever met.
She took the spoon and lifted the lid from the sugar bowl, then saw the note. Her eyebrow rose as she opened it, and she smiled as she recognized his handwriting. “One sugar and one coffee only.”

1. Are you upset your name is not in the title?
Not at all. I like the title.
