Thank You.

To my darling husband, John,

who brought me light bulbs rather than flowers.

You knew exactly the path to this girl's heart.

Acknowledgments

Alison Cunliffe and Alfie Thompson helped make this a much better book. Thank you.

Every author needs partners in literary crime and I'm no different. Thanks to my many partners: Kimberly Llewellyn, Tara Randal, Vicki Hinze, Hannah Rowan, Denise Lynn, Cait London and Trish Jensen.

Without readers, in essence an author would be sitting alone in a dark room talking to herself. Thank you to all of my readers. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to spend your time reading my stories. It's what makes the sacrifices worthwhile.

Prologue

The only thing saving the best man from indecent exposure was Diedra holding up his pants.

Of course, Alec didn't exactly know Diedra was saving him. Normally, she'd enjoy a better view of his magnificent masculine gluteus maximus. However, under these circumstances, that wasn't the case.

The wedding reception, held at the Malachite Room in one of Dallas's poshest hotels, was a success. Meagan, Diedra's sister, was a gorgeous bride. The groom, Alec's cousin, looked handsome enough to eat. Each of the tables situated on tiers about the room was filled with elegantly dressed wedding guests. Crowds glided around Alec and Diedra on the oak-planked dance floor.
