Short
Blurb:
What do you do when
the woman you love is marrying the wrong man? Sabotage the wedding!
Long Blurb:
Anna is planning the
perfect wedding, but she doesn't anticipate her future mother-in-law's offer of
help' which translates into take over. Her groom-to-be avoids her
and insists their growing problems are just 'bridal nerves'. Worst of all, her
best friend, Robin, begins to act strange. Everyone around her has his or her
own agenda. What's a girl to do when she begins to realize the perfect life she envisioned is all a
lie?
Robin has two great
loves in his life: his best friend Anna and his motorcycle. Not one to make a
scene, he supports Anna in her plan to marry the wrong man and regrets she
can't accept his 'dare devil' lifestyle. But when push comes to shove, he's
more than willing to make the necessary sacrifice and prove he is the man she
needs.
As
the wedding date grows closer and plans shift into high gear, Robin and Anna
grow closer and not just as friends. Each must decide what the perfect life
truly means while trying to negotiate the maze of wedding plans, secrets, and
hidden motives. Will someone be left singing the blues?
EXCERPT:
"Chasing you would be a wasted effort."
Robin waved the half eaten slice before he set the crust back in the box.
Anna slammed the lid on his hand. "What do you
mean? I'm not worth the chase?"
"Hey, starving teacher here." He knocked
on the inside of the box and glared at her. "And don't be ridiculous. Of
course you're worth a chase, but even I can recognize a no win situation
regardless if I can't fully give up on it or you."
"What's that
supposed to mean?" He was hiding something besides his hand in the
box. "Robin?"
The liquid blue fire in his eyes singed her as he
spoke. "I didn't give the let's-forget-this-ever-happened-and-just-be-friends
speech. I didn't stay too afraid to see where our relationship might have gone.
No win situation."
Stunned, she gaped at him. "I thought...but you
never said...I mean we'd..."
He just stared at her, face unmoving, his chest
rising and falling as his breaths increased. He was, she realized, getting
angrier by the second.
She swallowed and tried to find words, any words, to
defuse the tension. "I couldn't bear to think of losing you as my friend.
We did the best thing for us."
"We did the best thing for you."
"But you...you agreed with me. You said you
didn't want to risk our friendship either."
"What the hell could I say?" He shot to
his feet, knocking the pizza box to the floor. "You didn't give me a
choice. Either be your friend, only your friend, or leave your life."
"I never said we couldn't be friends or you had
to leave my life." She whispered the words. Yet it had been close.
"Even now you won't face it." He muttered
a curse which shocked her with the anger behind it. "Will you? You won't
admit maybe we could have—"
"I faced it the morning after. I'm not an
idiot, Robin. When you date a woman, it's like your skydiving adventures. You
have a thrill, anything goes, and it's awesome and you're on the high of it
all. Then you land and it's over. You never talk to the woman again, let alone
have a friendship with her. I didn't want our friendship to be over. I still
don't. I can't give more than I am. I can't."
"Why, Anna?" He stopped right in front of
her, hands on his hips balled into fists. "Why can't you give more?
Because of Doug Dufuss?"
"No.
Because I can't just have sex with you and then watch you leave!
