EXCERPT

This man was gorgeous, and if she were one to believe in instant attraction, her body responded to him with a fierceness she didn’t think possible. Maybe this was what the women gazing at Michael experienced that she did not. This wild thrill of discovery that led to possibilities only the big screen could fulfill.

Instead of letting her imagination get the best of her, Karen flattened a hand over her stomach and attempted to act unaffected. “Do I know you?”

The sex personified blue-eyed man stepped toward her. It took effort for her to hold her ground.

Sensing her unease, he held still, looked around the both of them as if noticing the caterers running about and guests arriving behind him, and said simply, “Zach Gardner.”

The smile on her face stayed. The name tickled at the edges of her consciousness. Memories flashed behind the veil of her mind until she narrowed her focus. “Michael’s brother?” she whispered.

Zach gave a small nod and swept his eyes down her frame. When his eyes met hers again, he masked whatever he’d been thinking, then he smiled and said, “And you’re the wife none of us have met.”


Not a lot shook Karen. She’d managed the role of Michael’s wife under the ever-present scrutiny of paparazzi, producers, actors, and fans . . . but the man standing in front of her did what no one else could. He made her question her decision to marry. 

Review: They say you should never judge a book by its cover, but that's hard to do when it's a Catherine Bybee novel. Single By Saturday has to be one of the most beautiful covers I've seen in ages.

I've been anxious for Karen's story since Fiance By Friday. You don't have to read that book first, but it does help to understand Karen's rather unconventional marriage and how it isn't bad at all that she's hooking up with her husband's brother.

Trust me on that!

In this book her marriage to Michael is coming to an end. Not to worry, this was a marriage of convenience, and the divorce was planned when they wed. However, she didn't plan on falling for her husband's brother. 

Sparks fly and things get complicated and that really makes for a great read!

Catherine once again delivers a romance that lives up to our fantasies with a touch of heat for good measure.
