Being an investigative private detective allowed the handsome ex-cop, Carl Hades, to live his bad boy image. Hired by the owner of an elite wedding planning services firm, Carl was on his way to meet her to find out why some of her recent clients were going MIA before their weddings. Before he gets a chance to find out who Tabitha Jones suspects is the killer, he winds up locked in a cold and dark cellar with a beautiful redheaded soon-to-be- bride, freaked by what she has just seen.

Despite all the conversations that she had with big white ears as a result of her heaving stomach every time she thought about her upcoming wedding and the fact that she had inadvertently flushed away her $8,000 engagement ring, Katie Ray adamantly refused to accept these clear signals that Joe was not the perfect man for her. But, once snuggled in the warmth and safety of Carl's soft brown jacket, Katie finds herself turned on by this handsome PI. While cuddling in the dark for warmth, Katie worms out from Carl that this macho man has a frou-frou dog and she finally lets in the doubts. Did she really just have the usual "cold feet" jitters or could someone else give her that "great sex" look in her eyes that her best friend, Leslie Grayson, was always going on about?

Coming back to Texas from Boston for Katie's wedding, Les was having her own bittersweet time. While happy to see her family and friends, she had never gotten over the death of Mike, Katie's brother and her special love. That is, until she met a handsome man in a bar while waiting for Katie, and he gave her the "wow and zing" in her heart she had been missing. How was she to know that this was Joe -- the man that her best friend was going to marry?
