Lucky 13: Matchmaking & Misunderstandings Cat Gardiner 1st Edition (October 2014) edition

Lucky 13 is a fresh and fun Pride and Prejudice inspired contemporary, holiday romance. Imagine "You?ve Got Mail" meets "Sex in the City" in a sexy tale where the secondary characters are as lovable as our hero and heroine.
New York City advertising executive, Elizabeth Bennet is determined to find a respectable date to take to Christmas dinner with her insane family. So, what?s a girl to do with only 26 days remaining? She and her best friend embark on a mad-cap dating blitz.
Speed dating and blind dates become a source of frustration when one man continually shows up, hell-bent on either annoying her or capturing her heart. Fitzwilliam Darcy, wealthy, hunky, part time New York City firefighter is Elizabeth?s new client, one of thirteen men chosen for a fundraising, beefcake calendar.
Sparks fly and ignite as misunderstandings abound. Sit back and laugh as friends and family play matchmaker, conspiring to bring these two together for an unforgettable, hot, holiday season in New York City.
Authors Note: Jane Austen wrote such wonderful characters in Pride and Prejudice, I just had to borrow their names and some of their characteristics to tell my own tale of hard-won, contemporary love. This story has a companion blog that Elizabeth writes and all our characters comment in. You can follow along through page links at the bottom of each e-book chapter and table of contents. Paperback purchaser will find the blog address at the beginning of the book along with the story's Spotify soundtrack and Pinterest inspiration.
Happy Reading!
