About the book
Joshua Wade was convinced that 25 year old Regan was plotting to disrupt his wedding. Why else would she have agreed to organize the big day—when she clearly had a grudge against him? Regan had to admit there was unfinished business between them: a reckless one-night stand.... Regan wasn't out for revenge, though she did have a hidden reason for getting close to Joshua's family. Only she could never reveal her secret plans—not even when 36 year old Joshua confessed his engagement was a sham and he wanted his ring on Regan's finger!
