Romance Series

Wedding planner Maggie Jenkins did not want to marry.... Well, she did, but when it came to matrimony, she was jinxed. Any time a Jenkins fell in love, she endured heartbreak. Saying "I do" was not in her future β€” except to help plan a family wedding for businessman Luke St. John, whose potent sexiness made her forget her own name.

Luke loved a challenge and intended to make the irresistible wedding planner his bride. He had a reputation for always getting what he wanted β€” and he wanted Maggie. As the holidays approached and their attraction raged out of control, those wedding bells grew louder. Could a determined Luke convince Maggie she wasn't jinxed and make her his bride by Christmas?
