Romance Chick-Lit

Things to do before Grandpa Junie turns eighty-five…and I'm disinherited:

  • Find a guy to marry (preferably a stranger of my own choosing, not Grandpa's)

  • Tell the groom it's only temporary (and platonic, naturally)

  • Tie the knot ASAP!

  • Untie the knot ASAP!
  • Queens-born-and-bred Mia Calogera needs a husband-like, yesterday. Eloping with her Internet pen pal Derek sounds like a plan. Which is why Mia's dressed in a beaded gown and white satin shoes, headed for Vegas.

    Advertising dynamo Dominic Chickalini has vowed to be the last single man standing. Then he spies the gorgeous bride-to-be in the aisle seat of the plane. The sexual sparks fly, but this woman's already spoken for. Or is she? When Mia's wedding plans go south, she makes Dom an offer that's hard to refuse. It's not like it's forever. It's not like they're even in love. So why does her heart pound at the thought of looking into his eyes and saying "I do"?
