Neat-freak Lauren Crandell has always had everything in order - except her love life. Since her divorce things have been a little rocky in that area. But as a wedding consultant she gets to see many happy couples walk down the aisle into matrimonial bliss. Will she ever experience that again? In her search for an answer, Lauren becomes the unwitting star of a series of madcap adventures involving a demanding boss, psychotic clients, her troublesome cat, neurotic friends - and the firefighter that shows up to save the day. Love, lust, and a satirical look at wedding pageantry come together in this novel set in Austin, Texas, which celebrates the best and worst about the much-anticipated Big Day.

She's been handed her walking papers. Jane McGregor has just been laid off from her job designing pink slips for an office supply company. The irony is not lost on her. She's a twenty-eight-year-old art major whose last major career accomplishment was being propositioned by the company vice president. Desperate to maintain her freedom from her oddball parents, tyrannical older brother, and slacker ex-boyfriend, Jane starts sending out resumes. So what if some of them aren't exactly, well, true. She's taking the future in stride. When Jane's dad, a staunchly conservative believer in the corporate dream, loses his job, and her mom goes to work for a trendy dot com, Jane discovers that the family she's taken for granted is unraveling. After a fellow lay-off victim hatches a plot to seek revenge on the office supply company, Jane must choose between living in the past and seeking out a new future. To her surprise, that future might involve a most unlikely partner in crime -- handsome, funny Kyle Burton -- and maybe, just maybe, a new job, too.

She creates perfect days. In spite of her incorrigible curly hair, Lauren Crandell is a neat-freak and organizational guru, qualities that make her the perfect wedding planner. But when two weddings in one day go haywire, and hunky firefighter Nick Corona comes to the rescue -- twice -- Lauren realizes there are a few important details in her own life she hasn''t been tending to since her divorce. Namely, her sex life. She lives lonely nights. Sweet and sexy Nick seems hell-bent on fanning the flames between them, and Lauren definitely feels sparks flying. But she''s scrambling to plan nuptials for her most challenging client yet -- a beautiful, cunning, and certifiable Psycho Bride. With the big day rapidly approaching, a series of misunderstandings, mishaps, and mistaken identities threatens to ruin not one, but two happily ever afters. But with her career and her love life on the line, the wedding planner just might learn that you can''t plan everything, least of all true love.

Cara Lockwood became a bestselling author with her debut novel I DO (BUT I DON'T) - now a TV movie-and kept the momentum going with PINK SLIP PARTY. Now she's back and better than ever with a delightfully offbeat tale about big fat weddings, the burdens of love, and the clash of cultures. Jen Nakamura Taylor has always felt like a fish out of water. With her dark, exotic, and hard-to-place looks, she got used to standing out in the small Southern town where she grew up. Her whole life has been a balancing act between her Japanese-American mother's family and her father's decidedly offbeat white Southern clan. Now, living hundreds of miles away from Dixieland in Chicago, she juggles an often demeaning job at a local news station with the relationship she shares with Richard, her commitment-phobic boyfriend. But her already odd and rather stressful life is further upset when word comes that her mother is getting remarried and wants Jen to come home for the wedding - a grand affair that promises to put Scarlett O'Hara to shame. All too aware of the circus she's about to walk into, Jen prepares for the worst - and finds instead all the proof she needs to understand just how lucky she really is. Full of delightful surprises and plenty of colourful, quirky characters, DIXIELAND SUSHI is an irresistible read from an author who gets better with every book.

Are you ready to rock? Lily Crandell has always lived in the shadow of her older sister, Lauren, who has a successful career as a wedding planner and a perfect husband and baby boy. Known within her family for being an aimless, impulsive trouble-magnet, Lily finally decides she may as well live up to her reputation: she elopes with new beau and would-be rock star Ted Dayton. But just as quickly as his band skyrockets, Lily's marriage crashes and burns. When news of her ex's new love with sultry and silicone-enhanced actress Melanie Slate hits the tabloids, she flees the country. Hello, London! Across the pond, Lily shares a flat with an old flame -- a commitment-phobic doctor who convinces her that the best prescription for her broken heart is volunteering at the local hospital. Turns out, he's right, as one of the patients, famed soccer star Sean Gates, takes more than a passing interest in Lily's quirky style. But things get complicated when her ex's band starts flying up the British charts. Ted comes to town, the paparazzi camp on her doorstep, and her new fling and old flame both find rumors that Lily and her ex are planning a little reunion tour rather troublesome. Is there a happily ever after at the end of this rocky road?

And what's even more disturbing is that not all the ghosts have good intentions. Mia and her friends must stop one evil instructor's plan to bring down the school - and the entire student body with it.
