Description
A fake fiancée. An alive deceased husband. Samantha's life just got more complicated.
When Stella MacInerney asks Samantha to be her maid of honor, she's surprised. The woman has enough stepdaughters from her three previous marriages to ask one of them. Why didn't she? Then Leo asks Samantha to be his plus one to the wedding, as his fake fiancée. What's up with that? So when Stella is kidnapped the eve of her wedding it's up to Samantha to get to the bottom of these mysteries. Samantha vows three things:
1. Find Stella's kidnappers and make them pay. She can't wait to use her highest voltage stun gun on this bad guy.
2. Discover why Leo needs a fake fiancée? Who knew he had a past with the wedding planner? And when asked, he clams up.
3. Track down a key eyewitness in Stella's disappearance who is a dead ringer for Carson. Could her dead husband really be alive?
When Stella's ransomed for three million pounds, Samantha has twenty-four hours to find her alive. All while pretending to be engaged to Leo to keep the smiling devil of a wedding planner at bay, never mind Samantha's facing her own matrimonial past. Samantha doesn't know how she'll feel if the witness turns out to be Carson. But she might just have to use her highest voltage stun gun on him, too. Unless her fake fiancée does it first.
