His Wedding

His Wedding
Muriel Jensen

Losthampton Heiress Found!Kidnapped as a toddler twenty-five years ago, Janet Abbott is finally back where she belongs, and just in time to see her two long-lost brothers get married. The whole clan welcomes her with open arms–except for the person whose arms she'd most like to be in, that is.Brian Girard, the "illegitimate Abbott," wants to avoid the festivities like the plague, afraid the press will dredge up old scandals, embarrass the family and make him look like a gold digger–or worse. But Janet's an Abbott in every sense of the word and doesn't like to lose.Which explains why persuading him to join the wedding party is the first step in her grand plan to get the last "legitimate" Abbott–Janet herself–to the altar, as well!The Abbots

“You’re flirting with me,” Brian said

Janet didn’t know whether to be pleased or angry. She started to speak, then drew back and collected her thoughts. She put her food down and firmed her chin.

He prepared himself for her reaction.

“Okay, you want to be straight with each other?”

Not necessarily. He just wanted her to understand—

“I’m attracted to you,” she said, interrupting his conversation with himself. “You’re kind, smart, funny and comfortingly sane…when you’re not being weird about embarrassing the family.”

“But you’re a poor judge of character, remember?” he said brutally. “You were left at the altar—”

“Would you do that to me?” she asked ingenuously.

“No, I wouldn’t, because you’d never get me anywhere near an altar.”

She took another clam and studied it, then looked up at him.

“Are you a betting man?”

Dear Reader,

With this fourth book in THE ABBOTTS series, the family has become very real to me. I’ve explored their minds and hearts and know them as well as I know my own family. I fully expect to round a corner in Astoria and bump into the whole crowd, vacationing here for the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial.

While they’re here, I’d love to be in Losthampton, sunning on the deck at Shepherd’s Knoll, or having coffee on the porch at Brian’s General Store and Boat Rental. Join me there one last time to witness the solution to the mystery of Abby’s kidnapping, and to be on hand as Brian discovers love at last.

Best wishes,

Muriel
