The Wedding of the Century is Sunny's story. From New York's
story, she is spending time in London with her godmother
Katie. Her mother groomed Sunny for her entry into society
and regal possibilities for marriage. Wealthy American women
were in great demand for the often cash poor dukes. Sunny is
surrounded by extraordinarily handsome titled men being
rated by Katie. As Sunny scans the crowd she spies a very
distinguished duke -- who unfortunately offered for a very
sophisticated woman -- something Sunny realistically knows
she wasn't. That's when she notices the Gargoyle, Justin,
the duke's younger brother. It turns out society has
labeled him just because he fell short of the family's
usual blond, tall & handsome attributes. Sunny doesn't find
Justin ugly but rugged and, after spending time with him,
interesting. Justin finds himself in dire need of a
prospective wife and he doggedly pursues the one woman who
peaked his interest in all these years - Sunny. Justin
realizes he wants more than just a wife in name -- he wants
a real marriage. Problem is, can he convince Sunny that they
can really have it all?
In Jesse's Wife, Amy (considering herself plain) was ripe
for a cad like Charles Whitaker -- who was without
conscience when it came to ruining a young woman's
reputation if it served him well. Amy felt fortunate and
rather surprised
when Charles took her out for a walk. When Jesse Tyler, who
worked for her father, came upon them he went on guard
knowing full well that guileless Amy was no match for this
man. When Amy finds herself in a compromising position, it's
Jesse who comes to her rescue. Without other viable
options, she agrees to accept Jesse's marriage proposal to
save face and protect the family name. Amy thinks this a
major sacrifice for Jesse but Jesse can't believe the way
the tides changed. He always had feelings for Amy but his
station was way beneath hers and there was never any hope
for any future. Now he just has to prove that he is the man
for Amy.
In Seduced by Starlight, Blossom and Samuel had been
betrothed since children. Samuel was her friend and a

original brought up by parents who indulged her
individuality. She wanted to be loved just the way she was
and tested the suitors. Jase returning home was a bit of a

was the reason and Jase wasn't going anywhere -- not without
the love of his life.
This wonderful trio of stories returns us to the day of
marriage matches and societal demands. Each story features
