Greta Brewster McBain is in a bind. Two, if sheโs really counting. First thereโs the can-barely-breathe bridesmaidโs dress from hell. Second, the stranger who just carried her โperfectโ brotherโs fiancรฉe out the church door has made it impossible to tell her own mother about her own divorce.
Rather than confirm her reputation as the family screw-up, Greta takes a drive to clear her head.
Trapped in a hole and unable to reach his cell phone, Hank Mitchell is resigned to becoming a permanent part of his own archeological dig when help arrivesโin the form of a woman who looks like a Gone With The Wind refugee. Behind the ruffles and lace, though, is something he appreciates: a woman who isnโt afraid of a little dirt.
Their instant connection draws Greta into the eccentric world of the Hotel Grand, where she impulsively trades her hoopskirts for an apron. Soon things are getting hotโnot only in the hotel kitchen, but in Hankโs arms...
Warning: Contains hot moonlit sex, a melancholy turtle, two wisecracking seniors, and the worldโs ugliest bridesmaid dress.
