      “Do you believe in wedding magic?” Cecile asked

      Luke frowned. “Define what you mean.”

      “The feeling that there’s something in the air at weddings. Something that makes people do things they shouldn’t.”

      He nodded. “I know what you’re talking about. From the first moment I saw you, I wasn’t settling for anything less. Why else would I leave when you did?” He’d moved toward her, almost as close as he’d been during their first slow dance.

      She’d been seduced before, but never like this. Luke was out of her league. Her body hummed. “You don’t make anything easy, do you?”

      “Never.” He ran a finger down her bare arm. “I get what I want, Cecile. Always have, always will.”

      “And what do you want?” she said, her breath lodging in her throat as she waited for his reply.

      “You.” His tone was forceful and determined. A thrill shot through her. “And I definitely want this.”

      With that, he lowered his mouth and kissed her.

      Dear Reader,

      I love weddings and wedding magic. This past April and July, I had a chance to attend two weddings, each for one of my work colleagues. Watching them say their vows and seeing how much love existed between them gave me such a happy feeling. Weddings are that one moment in time when everything is magic, when the future is unlimited. I have no doubt that each of my colleagues will live happily ever after.

      For Cecile, though, weddings are a reminder that her future hasn’t quite turned out as she envisioned it. When her best friend announces her own impending nuptials, Cecile worries that life might be passing her by. Determined to at least have a grand passion, Cecile lets the magic sweep her into the arms of Luke Shaw. There’s just one little problem. When she begins her new dream job, Cecile learns that Luke is her boss—and her company has a “no fraternization” policy. So what’s a girl going to do to win her man? Turn the pages and find out!

      I hope you enjoy The Wedding Secret, the second book in my AMERICAN BEAUTIES miniseries. Please join me when Tori’s story, Nine Months' Notice, concludes the series in April 2007.

      Until then, enjoy the romance and feel free to drop me an e-mail at [email protected]. Happy reading.

      All the best,

      The Wedding Secret

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      In first grade, Michele Dunaway wanted to be a teacher when she grew up, and by second grade she wanted to be an author. By third grade, she was determined to be both, and before her high school class reunion, she’d succeeded. In addition to writing romance, Michele is a nationally recognized high school English and journalism educator. Born and raised in a west county suburb of St. Louis, Michele has traveled extensively, with the cities and places she’s visited often becoming settings for her stories. Described as a woman who does too much but doesn’t know how to stop, Michele gardens five acres in her spare time and shares her life with two young daughters, six lazy house cats, one dwarf rabbit and two tankfuls of fish.

      Michele loves to hear from readers. You can reach her via her Web site, www.micheledunaway.com.
