Summary

In a family of jet-setters and lovable eccentrics, Cydney Parrish is the stable, sensible one, always with her feet firmly planted on the ground. Maybe that's why she ended up raising her sister's daughter Bebe. Now Bebe is all grown up and about to marry the nephew of the handsome and reclusive author Angus Munroe. Between planning the wedding, dealing with her high maintenance kin, and facing a future with only a cat for company, Cydney has her hands full. But she isn't too busy to notice that aside from being pushy and generally infuriating, Gus Munroe may just be the man of her dreams. Angus Munroe is not about to let his only nephew throw his future away on some ditzy debutante. He flies into town determined to "speak now and never hold his peace"--but ends up instead with a broken nose, a slight limp, and his mountainside home invaded by the bride-to-be's family. He's pretty certain it is all the wedding planner's fault. Aunts aren't supposed to be sexy, but someone obviously forgot to tell the irresistible Cydney Parrish. . . .
