Mia Savard loves her career as a designer at Savard
Creations, one of the best design firms in Kansas City. But
she's tired of being in bridal and wants to transfer to
another department. Her father, Lucien Savard, will hear
nothing of it and refuses to give in to her pleas. It's
time to take drastic steps, so she quits. While packing her
office, she hears her father loudly commanding everyone to
get to the cafeteria immediately. Even though she's no
longer an employee, she goes to see what's stirred him into
yet another of his many rages. Someone has stolen a design
and he fires everyone.
Mia is shocked when Lucien unveils the wedding dress she
designed for the governor's daughter. It was featured in a
bridal magazine and credit was given to Heavenly Bridals,
Savard Creations' most fierce competitor in Kansas City. To
make matters worse, the owner, Oren Angel, and Lucien had a
falling out years ago. No one knows the details, but the
two hate each other. Now Mia's design is in the middle of
more trouble. Being loyal to her father, Mia agrees to stay
on with the company. Not only is she upset about her design
being stolen, she's afraid her father thinks she's the
culprit.
Lucien hires Joseph Kerr Private Investigations to solve
the crime. According to Joe, having a last name Savard
doesn't clear anyone of suspicion and Mia is a suspect. The
investigation uncovers some secrets and jealousies, making
it difficult to know whom to trust. Of course, all fingers
point to Oren, but Joe is keeping an open mind. Mia and Joe
are spending a lot of time together, which creates tension
as they try to keep professional and personal feelings
separate. But the attraction is there and the romance
begins.
Michaels' MARRIAGE BY DESIGN is a great mystery with a
perfect blend of romance and danger. It also provides a
peek into the design world where tensions are high and
knives in the back are plenty. Michaels writes with fun and
flair. After reading the rave reviews for her other books --
MOTHER OF THE BRIDE, HONEYMOON SUITE and RETURN ENGAGEMENT,
I can't wait to add them to my collection.
There's only so much taffeta and toile a girl can
take.
Passionate, talented, and noticeably stunning, Mia Savard is
the top designer at her father's thriving bridal design
company. But her life has hit a bit of a snag. Thirty,
recently dumped and suddenly single, Mia has grown weary of
white lace and craves couture. But when Mia's most
spectacular creation is leaked to the competition, the silk
hits the fan. Someone inside Savard Creations is trading
with the enemy. In the world of fashion, that means war.
Enter private investigator Joe Kerr, the exceedingly
handsome ex-cop hired to nab the clever mole. Stalking
dangerous territory, where jittery brides, hysterical
mothers, and deadline-challenged designers clash in clouds
of gossamer and gossip, Joe is torn between suspecting Mia
and seducing her. Amid the treachery, hijinks, and
flirtations galore, it seems, for Mia, romance just might be
tailor-made.
