BLURB
Snowbound. Sounds so romantic, with visions
of cuddling before a roaring fire, hot chocolate spiked with brandy, and a
secret elopement.
Wait. What?
My fiancé's father won't stop trying to
turn our pending wedding into a three-ring media circus so he can get free
publicity for his family's Fortune 500 company. My mother has decided she's
done with All Things Wedding and asks her teacup Chihuahua for
mother-of-the-bride advice.
They've all gone certifiably mad.
Then the stress from the wedding puts my
mother in the hospital, I scream at my future father-in-law in front of a
camera crew and the video goes viral, and the romantic wedding that started
with Andrew's grand Pride and Prejudice proposal looks less like Jane Austen
and more like Dostoyevsky.
So what do you do when you're a fixer and
you can't fix something?
You give up on it.
Not on Andrew, silly.
The wedding.
Shopping for a CEO's Wife is the 12th book
in Julia Kent's New York Times bestselling Shopping series. As Shannon and
Declan enjoy their newlywed bliss, Andrew's father wants to exploit Amanda and
Andrew's nuptials, much to Amanda's chagrin. Can she learn to stand up to her
future father-in-law and fight for what's right? But the real question is: will
Spritzy the teacup Chihuahua end up being a flower girl?

EXCERPT
Bzzz.
Saved by his phone. Andrew scrolls through
his texts with a half grin. I know that look. He thinks he won. Won what? I
decide on the spot that we weren’t having an argument. Not even a heated
discussion. This is what being in a lifelong relationship is all about, right?
Pacing. I have to pace myself when it comes
to conflicts, big and small. Especially small. Letting him think he won this
one is important. Give an inch.
Take a mile later.
“It’s Dad again,” Andrew says with that
mysterious new tone of voice he’s developed. I watch him as he reads his phone,
eyes drifting over the screen, hair messy from the skiing earlier. Deep brown
eyes narrow as he reacts to whatever his dad said. The muscle between his jaw
and ear pokes out with tension as he swallows and swipes on his phone. He
blinks rapidly, but his breathing doesn’t speed up.
He’s irritated, but not angry. Annoyed, but
not pissed.
I tuck away his reaction in my mental database.
Lately, I find myself watching him with a
strange fascination. Openly, obviously, and without hesitation. Andrew doesn’t
seem to mind. I know he knows I’m doing it, but so far, he hasn’t questioned
me. If he were to ask, I couldn’t tell him why. I don’t know why.
Yet I do it, day in and day out.
“What did he say now?” I ask politely,
knowing the answer.
“It’s about the wedding,” Andrew answers,
giving me a look that says, Of course. “He insists we need to hold it at
Farmington, like Declan’s wedding.”
“Why?”
“His PR team says it’ll get more press. All
the major media outlets will station vans there, and the comparisons will
generate easier headlines.”
“What does that mean?”
Andrew rolls his eyes. He reaches across my
lap and grabs his abandoned coffee mug. The stretch makes his shirt hike up
slightly, exposing his waistline, a thin wedge of tanned muscle coming into
sight. I catalog it, like I always do these days, and wonder when this will
become boring.
“Dad thinks that the press will be more
invested if they can sensationalize our wedding ceremony. ‘Will they or won’t
they escape?’” Andrew uses one hand to make finger quotes.
“He expects us to be in Declan and
Shannon’s shadow on our wedding day?”
“That’s exactly what I said to Dad! Almost
word for word. And I told him no. Hell, no.”
“What was his response?”
“That we should ask your mother.”

(and he isn't a billionaire). She lives in New England with her husband and
three sons in a household where the toilet seat is never, ever, down.
