A Wedding and a one-night stand. . . Winfred "Freddie" Barker is dealing with minute-to-minute drama from her best friend during her extravagant wedding and heated looks from the oh too sexy best man. So, when the ceremony is over and the reception starts heating up, Freddie blows off steam with a little champagne--and a lot of the best man, Cleveland Alexander. It was definitely going to be just a one-night fling, because no woman in her right mind would fall for that man's arrogant, self-centered self, no matter how fine he is. . . Can it lead to a lifetime of the real thing?As a hard-core bachelor, Cleveland Alexander wasn't looking for love at a wedding, but something keeps pushing him and Freddie together. And when he ends up spending Mardi Gras at her hotel in New Orleans, he finds out there's more to her than her prickly attitude and her sexy body. Now he wants to help her find the peace she's looking for and convince her that the love between them is the real thing. . .
