A Betting Bride: Brides of Liberty, Texas Rebecca De Medeiros

Publisher Marketing: Welcome back to Liberty, Texas... where the summer is heating up for the single bachelors... as the 'Bridal Bid' is finally underway. Alec Wentworth, town mayor and all around nice guy, has a big problem. A problem called marriage. A group of elderly matchmaking men that run the town council have decided it is time to lasso the bachelor and drag him to the altar. The plan is simple, put the mayor up for auction and let the brides bid on him. The men are pinning their hopes that more of the bachelors in town would follow suit. Alec is a man with a scarred past, one that he hides behind flirtatious banter and roguish charm. His devilishly handsome looks don't hurt him one bit either. But he isn't going to go willingly to the altar...he is a man with a plan... he just needs his longtime friend Serena, to help him out. Serena Sinclair has loved Alec secretly for years, but enough was enough. It was time for her to move on with her life and leave her plain-Jane spinsterhood behind in her dust. Alec may need her help in thwarting the hordes of ladies who want to become his bride, but she needs his help in teaching her the art of seduction. What starts out as a few innocent kisses, and one night turns a friendly game of poker into something a bit more wicked... the pair find themselves forced into a hasty marriage. Just in time for the ghosts in Alec's past to resurface in his life. Will the new couple find contentment? Or will a cruel plot and a scorned admirer ruin the joy they could find together? Contributor Bio:  De Medeiros, Rebecca Rebecca De Medeiros- Born and raised as a California girl, now transplanted into Iowa's blustery winters, dreams longingly of sandy beaches and palm trees. That is, when she has the time to dream between controlling the chaos known only as the De Medeiros household and plotting her next crazy scheme. Thankfully, she is married to the most supportive, loving husband. He even believes her when she promises to be both a best seller and the next week's lottery winner. With two young children, two hyper puppies and a household chock full of laundry to fold- a supportive husband comes in handy when she forgets to defrost something for dinner because she is wrapped up in her work. He is the true inspiration to her romantic soul. Rebecca takes great pride in coming from a long line of strong, determined women. She credits (blames) them for encouraging her to pick up her first pen and writing down what was on her mind. Unfortunately her first artistic endeavor was "I will not hit my brother, even if he did call me Bucky Beaver" one hundred times. She sincerely hopes her writing has improved since those days.
