How about a little sneak peek into Strangers At The Altar, coming May 31st. I'm super excited about this one.

UNEDITED EXCERPT - COPYRIGHT 2016 - LACEY WOLFE

I took a deep breath. It was my wedding day. I couldn’t believe it. The last two weeks flew by. I had to clear my schedule and get some of my traveling out of the way so for the next six weeks, I could spend all my time with her. I had to play the part of a guy in marketing and not a partner at Wright Investments. I hadn’t stopped to think about if she’d recognize me or my name. Hopefully not.

I paced the small room I was in, stopping every now and then to look at myself in my tux. They’d told me she liked deep purple, so my tie and vest were that color.  I ran my hand across my short beard. I didn’t have a long one, but I did have a face full of facial hair. Women seemed to love it, I hoped my wife did too. My nerves were getting to me as I fixed my hair for the tenth time. This pacing wasn’t doing me any good. 

“Isaac.” Dr. Banks stuck her head in the door. “Can I come in?”
“Yes.”
She took a seat. “Your bride is here and almost ready. She’s very nervous.”
“The feeling is likewise.” My palms were soaked and sweat formed on my forehead.
“You are aware that her immediate family is here, correct?”
I nodded. I wouldn’t deny her family the chance to see her get married. I wasn’t evil.
“I think you’re going to be very pleased with our choice, and we thank you for giving us this chance.”
I looked hard at her and asked, “Have you had any success with this yet?”
“This is our first time. You and A…” She smiled. “You and your bride are the first to get married.”
“What about the guy from the other day?”
“His wedding is tomorrow.”
Dr. Banks looked at her phone. “It’s time for you to take your place.”
Oh shit. I don’t think my legs can move. I’m not really going to do this, am I? Marry a woman I’ve never met. I don’t even have a damn prenup because I wanted to make sure she didn’t know who I was. Fuck. This woman will own half of what is mine after she says I do, and she had no idea. And if she leaves me at the end of the six weeks, I have to confess who I am. Then she can take it all from me. Make me have to work hard again to build up my life.
I hadn’t thought this through.
“Dr. Banks,” I choked out.
“Isaac, you’re white as a ghost. Are you okay?”
I shook my head. “I, I, I.” Couldn’t form the words I needed.
She set her hand on my shoulder. “She’s gorgeous as you asked. A great heart. I promise, she is your one.”
“Okay.”
I had to trust them. I’d been honest in everything I wanted in a woman and they had found her. So I needed to go out there and meet her. I followed Dr. Banks out and down a long hallway. I heard someone laugh in a room with the door closed. It was a woman and I couldn't help but wonder, is that my bride?
“Right this way.” Dr. Banks pointed to the the small room, fully decorated.
I couldn’t believe it. The place had been transformed from when I’d toured it last week. Purple, silver, white flowers. This was what she’d been dreaming of and I was so happy to be giving it to her. Making my way down the aisle toward the altar, I saw a woman sitting with a young guy and child. I stepped up on the altar and turned to them.
“Hello.” What else was I supposed to say?
“Hi,” the woman said.
“Are you her mom?”
“Yes and this is her brother and nephew. I don’t know if I can give names. This is new to me.”
I chuckled. “Me too. Looks like we have a lot in common already.”
The brother didn’t smile though. He actually looked pissed. This must not be what he wanted for his sister, but at least he was here supporting her. I wasn’t sure if my family knew about it if they would come. My father would have a fit, no doubt. He liked to keep our name out of the news unless it was positive. Having his son marry a total stranger without a prenup…let’s just say he’d be less than pleased.
The music started and I froze. My bride was about to come out. My feet were lead, even if I wanted to run, I couldn’t.
The doors opened.
There she was.
Holy shit, I’d never seen a woman more beautiful in my life.

What did you think? I can't wait until May 31st!!!
