| PLAYING BY THE MARRIAGE RULES – Fiona Brand Houston, Texas – Present Day Since college, socialite and wedding planner Jenna Beaumont has had an on and off again affair with bad boy Damon Wyatt. Their last fling ended a few weeks ago when Damon realized that she was too addictive, and he needed to take seriously the terms of his late uncle’s will. The will decrees that Damon must be married by a certain date or he loses all rights to the company (and money) that were left to him. Since the first time he had bedded Jenna, it had been drilled into his head by her father that she isn’t the one he should marry. Instead, Damon goes searching elsewhere and comes up with a suitable selection: Jenna’s cousin Chloe. Of course, Chloe wants to involve her cousin in the wedding planning, but neither Jenna nor Damon could have predicted that Chloe would end up being a no-show. There’s a category two hurricane blowing through the area and Jenna is reluctantly helping Chloe to marry the one man who stole Jenna’s heart. The wedding ceremony will take place in a remote location and Chloe is late. But after the driving rain closes the roads, Damon learns that Chloe has no intention of showing up. Damon must marry by midnight, and it appears that the only available single woman who can help him is Jenna. He’s never stopped caring for her, but will his plans for a marriage in name only end up with its rules being broken? Jenna can’t understand why her cousin agreed to marry Damon. Then she learns why—that Damon must marry by midnight or lose his inheritance. She had hated planning Chloe’s wedding to Damon, yet with no bride in sight, some other strange things are happening, like the wedding gown is in her size, not Chloe’s. After Jenna agrees to marry Damon, the deed is done, and they are left alone. It doesn’t take long for them to make love. It’s clear that their feelings for each other are still there. What she doesn’t realize is that her father years ago let Damon know that his daughter was off-limits. Can a couple forced apart find happiness now that they are finally together? Damon still thinks their marriage will be for the required two months as per the marriage contract. Can they walk away from each other once the two months are up? PLAYING BY THE MARRIAGE RULES is an emotional tale that shows a couple tormented by the forces around them who were bent on keeping them apart. Damon never thought he was husband material after being raised by a horrible father. Jenna loved Damon but he always pushed her away. Yet, they also found their way back to each other. Is this the final journey for them? Have they found a happily-ever-after together? Don’t miss this enthralling tale. Patti Fischer |
