Mother of the Bride
“Any writer who'd ever cranked out the last hundred pages of a four-hundred-page manuscript in twenty-four hours to meet a deadline knew it. And Gus was desperate.Aldo had defected. Gus had suspected it when he'd wakened in the hospital and found Cydney Parrish, not Aldo, at his bedside. He'd sold out for chicken and noodles, carrot cake and a hot chick. Gus could hire a chef, but he couldn't compete with Bebe and he knew it.He also knew a brick wall when he saw one, and one sat looking at him a...cross the table, Aldo and Bebe with their hands clasped together. The twelve-thousand-dollar diamond Gus had had a stroke over blazed on Bebe's ring finger. He could yank Aldo's money but that wouldn't stop the wedding.
