“When Charlotte Pringle Frost won The
Party Planning Committee three years ago, she gained name-recognition,
money, and enough wealthy clients to keep her Beverly Hills party-planning
business running for months. But when her father used all her winnings to pay
off his gambling debts, he left her with nothing but the clothes on her back
and a damaged reputation. Now she’s living in Arkansas, was just fired from her
party store cashier job, and can’t figure out how it all went wrong.
Lance Dutton hasn’t been at his mental
wellness retreat in Switzerland five minutes when his mom calls to tell him his
little sister is engaged. Alexandria is twenty-two, and her overly tattooed
fiancé fronts an underground boy band; so much for mental wellness. It isn’t
enough that Lance has spent ten years of his life starring on Dealing
with the Duttons—his family’s reality show; now he’s expected to come home
and oversee the wedding. With multiple product lines and new endorsement deals
in the works, his family can’t afford any bad press.
When Alexandria impulsively hires some random contestant she remembers from an old reality game show to plan the wedding, all Lance sees is a disaster in the making. It’s bad enough that the wedding is in four weeks and his sister wants the whole process aired live, but this Charlotte chick is cuter than he expected, and she’s messing with his head. Suddenly he’s thinking about the future, and nothing could possibly be worse than that.
Nothing, that is, until Alexandria tells them her ridiculous wedding theme.
As the only sane people around, it’s up to Lance and Charlotte to make this disastrous wedding a success, a nearly impossible feat that soon has them both wondering…
Even if the wedding doesn’t work out, could they?”
