Ring the wedding bells,
pour the champagne, and get thee to the cathedral for Royally Wed, the LOL sequel to Part-time Princess
(Ladies-in-Waiting, #1)!
BLURB
Lucy Trabbicio, former cocktail
waitress and down-to-earth American commoner, is about to marry the man of her
dreams, Prince Nicholas of Fredonia in the posh royal wedding of the year.
But something goes very
wrong on the way to
the altar. Now it’s up to Lucy, her party-hard, take-no-prisoners
Ladies-in-Waiting, and Nick’s opinionated Royal Nana to solve the debacle, and
get her back into sexy Prince Nick’s arms in time to be Royally Wed, as well as
royally bed.
A modern day, sexy tale
with romance, twists and turns, laughter, and a whole lot of hanky-panky!
EXCERPT:
“Hang on.” Cheryl slipped a silver flask from the bustle of her
bridesmaid dress. “This is cause for celebration. We don’t get to cheer on one
of our own all that often. We’re always stuck buying fancy presents for the
girls getting married who we don’t care that much about because we know they
don’t care that much about us, either.”
“Here, here!” Joan said as Cheryl
took a shot from the flask.
“And then,” Cheryl said and wiped
her mouth on her sleeve, “those bitches complain behind our backs, but we
always find out about it through the royal grapevine, that we should have
bought them a pricier item on their registry. So here’s to our Lucy, who we
care about, who would never say bitchy things behind our backs.”
“I’ll say them straight to your
face.”
“That’s one of the reasons I like
you. Here’s to Lucy’s wedding day.” She slugged back a shot and handed it to
Joan. “May it be everything you ever dreamed and more.”
“Cheers!” Joan knocked back a
shot and handed it to Alida.
“Salute!” She took a sip,
grimaced, and passed it to Mr. Philips who took a quick sip.
“Nicely done, ladies. Prince
Harry’s Private Reserve?”
Cheryl nodded. “I don’t skimp for
weddings.”
“You don’t skimp for anything.”
Esmeralda took the flask from Philips and downed a shot, then dabbed a little
behind her ears and on her cleavage. “One of the reasons I like you.”
“You’re wasting good liquor,” Mr.
Philips said.
“I prefer to think it’s an
investment. The scent of Prince Harry’s Private Reserve is practically an
aphrodisiac for any titled man at a wedding reception,” she said and passed the
flask to me. “I’m tragically single, you know.”
“Not so tragic,” Cheryl said.
“You told me you never wanted to get married.”
Esmeralda put her finger to her
lips. “Shh!”
“No thanks on the shot.” I shook
my head. “The Champagne finally wore off. I’m only getting married—for
real—once. I’m not walking down the aisle tipsy, let alone with scotch on my
breath.”
“But you have to,” Cheryl said.
“It’s tradition.”
“Not where I’m from.” I grabbed a
bottle of Fredonia Mineral Water, raised it high in the air, and toasted my
Ladies-in-Waiting and the boys. “Cheers!” I took a healthy slug.
“Dios mio!” Alida exclaimed.
“Merde!” Joan said.
“Crap!” Esmeralda leapt toward me
and knocked the bottle out of my hands. It flew across the room, splattered Mr.
Philips tuxedo trousers and landed open-mouthed on his shoe as it poured out.
He stared down at it and sighed.
“Why’d you do that?” I asked.
Alida crossed herself. “Don’t you
know, Lucy?”
Cheryl’s face turned ashen. “It’s
terrible luck to toast with water.”
“That’s just an old wives tale,”
I said and waved my hand at them. “Go forth and march down that aisle now
because I am finally getting married. My worries are over. Does anyone have any
chocolate? I’m a little lightheaded. Probably my low blood sugar. I’m good. I’m
ready. Besides, what could possibly go wrong?”
