Blurb
Two rival families. Two
competing wedding venues. One wedding of the season.
Nick Katsalos has
a foolproof plan to save his parents' floundering wedding venue. The last thing
he expects is for Erin Patterson, the captivating daughter of his parents'
biggest rival, to waltz in and charm the client who could finally get the
family business back on track. Nick would be furious--if only he could stop
thinking about her.
When Erin and
Nick enter into a wager to determine who will win the contract she prepares for
the worst ... and is surprised by the glimpses of warmth she sees in the man
behind the numbers. But Erin isn't about to forfeit what could be the biggest
wedding of the decade to a man as cold as Nick. Especially since securing it
means she could finally prove to her father she's just as capable of handling
the family business as him.
But as the
competition heats up, Erin and Nick must decide what's more important—winning
or love.

Excerpt
“So, how was the movie?” he asked.
She frowned and looked at him sideways. “Which movie?”
“Pretty Woman. I know you’d have gone and watched it after I told
you about all the mistakes.”
Her eyes narrowed. “As a matter of fact I did watch it again and you’re
totally, one hundred percent wrong.”
He shrugged. “Am not.”
She put her hands on her hips defiantly and heat flared through him.
“Vivian could totally have been eating so quickly that she went from a
croissant to a pancake, to another pancake in the place of a few minutes while
Edward was talking.”
He smiled to himself. He’d been right. She was competitive enough that
she’d want to prove him wrong. “Why would she do that? Unless she wanted a
pretty mean case of heartburn.”
“She’d never been in a hotel room like that, not eating breakfast,
anyway.” She waved her hands in the air as if she were speaking about a real
woman, a friend, someone who she’d talked to at length about this. “Maybe she
hadn’t eaten for days. Maybe she’d never seen so much food on the table before
and she wanted to eat as much as she could before they took it away.”
“Maybe she’d burned up so many calories when she slept with Edward that
she was starving.” He couldn’t resist, and the blush it brought to her cheeks
was worth it.
Her eyes flicked to his, then suddenly away, and in that second Nick had
never wanted anyone or anything more in his life. He cleared his throat. Living
in a wedding hall must have caused his logical brain to stall. He kick-started
it just in time. “Or the continuity guy was sleeping on the job.”
She made a growling noise. “I’ve never met someone so infuriatingly
cynical.”
“You’re just angry because I pointed out a fact to you and now you can’t
unsee it. In fact, you voluntarily watched the movie again, and you’re pissed
because you know I’m right.”
She moistened her lips. “You still haven’t proven any of those mistakes,
and until you do, I’m not going to believe any of them. Besides, the Rockwell
painting is old and so is Pretty Woman. With all the advances in
technology, mistakes aren’t going to be a problem anymore.”
He paused for a moment, wondering how far he could push her. No, it
wouldn’t be fair, would it? But she was glaring at him, challenging, and he
couldn’t resist making an excuse to have the same sort of passionate discussion
with her again. “Seen The Fault in Our Stars?”
She spun back to him. “Oh no you don’t! I cried through that entire
movie, and I am not going to have you destroy that for me. You’re sick, Nick
Katsalos. Sick, sick, sick.”
He grinned. “I wouldn’t dream of telling you if you don’t want to hear.
But you did ask.”

Author Bio
Barbara DeLeo’s first book, co-written with her best friend,
was a story about beauty queens in space. She was eleven, and the sole,
handwritten copy was lost years ago, much to everyone’s relief. It’s some small
miracle that she kept the faith and is now living her dream of writing
sparkling contemporary romance with unforgettable characters.
After completing degrees in Psychology and English then
travelling the world, Barbara married her winemaker hero and had two sets of
twins. She still loves telling stories about finding love in all the wrong
places, with not a beauty queen or spaceship in sight.
