You are cordially invited to the worst wedding of the century.
Sydney Evans is no stranger to hard work. Itβs the one constant in her life. And with no family or friends to speak of itβs been easy to pour everything she has into her career as general counsel for Blackstone Holdings.
She wants for nothing. Until her boss offers her a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All she has to do in return is marry his good-for-nothing son.
Scott Blackstone used be a party whore. Pardon, party animal. He hasnβt been that guy in a long time though. Not since he moved to Wyoming, bought a failing cattle ranch, and turned it into a profitable business.
All is good. Until a phone call from his father threatens the quiet, simple life heβs built. Marry or lose everything. And to a woman who canβt stand him, no less. Well, Scott is not going down without a fight. Heβs never going back to Manhattan. Not if he can help it.

Dangelico writes another captivating story. I never wanted this delicious and sexy story to end. The characters are real, entertaining, likable and easy to relate to, but have issues they need to work through. Sydney and Scott who are forced to marry, even though they canβt stand each other. Their hate turns to love and it proves that sometimes, opposites do attract in this slow burn love story.
Scott, a reformed playboy, is now content living a quiet life running his ranch in Wyoming. While Sydney, is a driven, workaholic attorney living and loving New York. Scott and Sydneyβs marriage is more of a business deal with little romance involved. They donβt like each other, donβt understand each other and are not happy they are being forced into marriage by Scottβs manipulative father. It is highly entertaining watching Scott and Sydney argue, banter and fight and slowly fall in love, without even realizing what is happening.
I enjoyed everything about this story.Β Scott and Sydney are vulnerable and at times, frustrating. They each have scars and secrets and are afraid to open their hearts. Loved this charming story.
