Dream Wedding and Valentines by Tawny Weber
One of my favorite dedicated-to-romance days is Valentine’s. And one of my favorite dedicated to romance events is a wedding. Since most of my stories end with the declaration of love, rather than the wedding, it was such a thrill to be able to incorporate both in my latest Undercover Operatives release, SEX, LIES AND VALENTINES. Not the hero and heroine’s wedding, though – but the wedding of the hero of the first book in the series, SEX, LIES AND MISTLETOE, Caleb and his true love, Pandora. Danita is a guest at the wedding, which is a little awkward since she came to town pretending to be the best man’s girlfriend, with the intention of arresting the father of the groom. Okay, so that might not sound romantic itself, but I promise –the story, and the wedding, were.
Here’s a peek:
It was a testament to her respect for Hunter—their history and the fact that he was her boss—that she didn’t just turn and run.So what do you think? Are you a fan of Valentine’s Day? And how about weddings? What’s the most romantic wedding tradition you’ve ever seen or heard of?
“Fine. Until the toast,” she agreed. And not one second longer, she vowed as she slid onto the glossy bench. Her car was out front, packed and ready to go. If she thought she could get away with sliding all the way across this bench and heading right back up the aisle without Hunter busting her, she’d do it in a heartbeat.
Then the music started. Caleb and Gabriel stepped out of the antechamber together. She sighed a little at the sight of them, so gorgeous and elegant in steel gray tuxedos, each with a red rose on their lapel.
As if drawn by a magnet, Gabriel’s eyes immediately found her. He offered a warm, charming smile that immediately set off her warning radar. Why was he smiling at her? What was he up to? And why did it make her stomach tumble like a giddy virgin?
His gaze narrowed, his eyes heating as they wandered over her. Danita had to force herself not to glance down to make sure her blouse was buttoned.
Then the music changed. With difficulty, Danita tore her gaze from Gabriel’s and stood, turning to watch Pandora walk down the aisle on Cassiopeia’s arm. Danita was shocked when tears filled her eyes at the obvious love between the two women. Pandora wore traditional white, her gown a vision of froth and lace with a sweetheart neckline and a subtle hearts embroidered over the satin. Looking like the Queen of Hearts, Cassiopeia wore a flowing ruby caftan, crystals dangling and roses arranged in her hair.
Terrified to realize that she wanted the same thing—love and marriage and family—Danita fell, rather than sat, back on the pew. The ceremony was a blur as she struggled with the idea of marriage, commitment and all of the possibilities that came with it. Especially as the only person she’d make that promise to would be Gabriel.
When her eyes met his again, she wasn’t able to keep all the wishes and hopes in her heart from showing on her face.
But instead of looking away, or worse like seeing that freaked him out, Gabriel held her gaze. Through the entire ceremony. By the end, her hands were shaking.
She had to get out of here.
As soon as the happy couple made their way back up the aisle, she was out of her seat and heading for the door.
