Synopsis                 (Published April 2004, Strapless)

Stop the presses—Dean Paul Lockhart, America’s favorite bachelor, is getting married! The news is sending shock waves through the tabloids—not to mention the three former gal pals who also just happen to be his . . . EX-GIRLFRIENDS.

For Lara Ward, it’s a reason to go wild. She has her own party planning firm and the trappings of success that go with it. What Lara doesn’t have is a man. But when she spies hot Latin polo player Joaquin Cruz, she sees a perfect opportunity.

For society shutterbug Babe Mancini, it means revenge. Snapping candids of the glitterati has taught her the power of the right picture. And she’s got some very personal photos of Dean Paul that her new beau, cable news hell-raiser Jake James, would love to make public.

For Gabrielle Foster, it’s time to panic. She’s buried her privileged past and reinvented herself as rap priestess Brown Sugar. With thug impresario AKA Bomb Threat on her arm, her street cred is complete— unless a rival rapper (and this wedding) blows her cover.

Faster than you can say high-strung Japanese Olsen twins, gay walkers, PDH’s (personal diamond handlers), breathy psychics, and high-profile fistfights, three former best friends are about to reunite for the wedding of the century—and the ride of their lives . . .

Behind the Scenes Dish

This book is an often-mentioned favorite among my readers, and it's a favorite of mine as well. When I finished it, I thought it was my best writing to date. I owe much of that to my spectacular editor, John Scognamiglio. He gave me free reign to go full tilt here, and I think it shows. I love writing take-charge women who eat jerk-ass guys for breakfast. After all, don't we all want to be Sharon Stone when we grow up?
