One date for every medical test—that’s the deal. Allison, however, gets more than she bargains for. She gets a Groom for Mama.
BLURB:
A groom for Mama by Catherine Castle
Beverly Walters is dying,
and before she goes she has one wish—to find a groom for her daughter. To get
the deed done, Mama enlists the dating service of Jack Somerset, Allison’s
former boyfriend.
The last thing
corporate-climbing Allison wants is a husband. Furious with Mama’s meddling,
and a bit more interested in Jack than she wants to admit, Allison agrees to
the scheme as long as Mama promises to search for a cure for her terminal
illness.
A cross-country trip
from Nevada to Ohio ensues, with a string of disastrous dates along the way, as
the trio hunts for treatment and A Groom
For Mama.
Excerpt:
Bounding down the stairwell as the bell rang, Allison
shouted, “I’m coming! I’m coming. Keep your pants on!” She threw the deadbolt
off and jerked open the door.
Jack Somerset stood in front of her, his chin perched on top
of a stack of Chinese take-out cartons. Shoving down her tingling gut reaction,
she commanded her heart to stop jumping like an overexcited puppy.
Except for a few more laugh wrinkles around his eyes, Jack
hadn’t changed a bit since college. His brown hair still dipped over his
forehead in a shaggy mane. A lopsided smile spread across his face when he saw
her. He winked at her, his green eyes twinkling.
“Well, if it isn’t the bride-to-be. Nice to see you again,
Allison.” He jiggled the cartons balanced in his arms. “I brought Chinese. I
remember it was your favorite. Moo shu pork, right?” He pushed past her and
headed toward the kitchen, apparently as well acquainted with her childhood
home as she.
Grabbing her head between her hands, she squeezed her
temples.
Chinese. Of all the
things he could have brought, he brought Chinese.
She’d broken it off with him in a Chinese restaurant . . .
over moo shu pork. Very loudly and very violently. The pork and the pot of hot
tea had landed in Jack’s lap when he tried to keep her from leaving the table.
Did his choice of entrees mean Jack hadn’t forgotten the incident? She hadn’t,
and she’d been unable to eat that particular Chinese dish since.
