Book excerpt: The big day is almost here for Jessica Wild. She’s finally engaged to the perfect man–sexy, wonderful Max–and is in the middle of planning the perfect wedding. Nothing, absolutely nothing, stands between her and happily-ever-after. Well, almost nothing. Probably nothing. You see, lately Max has been evasive, even secretive. And when Jessica answers his mobile and hears a sultry woman’s voice on the other end, it’s the last straw. Leaving nothing to chance, Jessica tracks down the mystery woman–and finds her smack in the middle of Max’s embrace. The next thing Jessica knows, she’s waking up in the apartment of Max’s business rival after a night out that was meant to help her forget her woes. And when a series of even more tumultuous events leads to a life-changing discovery, Jessica realizes that things are not what they seem–not by a long shot. How could she have ever doubted the only man she’s ever wanted? And now that her job, her reputation, and her heart are in jeopardy, is love enough to give her the miracle she so desperately needs?
