[Luc and Zain Mysteries 02] • Weddings Are a Bitch

For Luc Ronan and Zain Simon, things could not be better; their new resort is almost complete, and Olive Barrett is their wonderful new friend. Zain’s sister Claudia Simon and Great-aunt Francesca (Franny) Simon are happily immersed in preparing for the lavish wedding. It seems their new life as a married couple is right on track.

Suddenly however dark clouds appear and the joyful momentum temporarily comes to a screeching halt. Without warning, Olive and Zain are seriously injured during a robbery at Olive’s home, when several pieces of priceless art are taken, leaving the family reeling. During this same time, Claudia’s usual fascination with sexy muscular men again lands her again into hot water. To top things off, Franny along with Claudia manage to mix it up with Olive’s neglectful family, leaving them suspicious of the estranged family’s motives.

Luc has problems of his own, being reluctant and frankly terrified when he is pulled into service to greet their formidable Great-great-great-aunt Gertrude Simon at the local airport. Other family members were delighted to scare the hell out of him with tales of her eccentric behavior, leaving him very unsure of how to entertain the elderly matriarch of the Simon family. His only clues to survival during Gertrude’s intense appraisal are that Gertrude can drink Franny under the table, and thoroughly knows her way around a gun if something bothers her.

When the big day finally arrives all is perfect, and following the wonderful ceremony, the extravagant celebration begins. Without warning, Franny and Olive unexpectedly go missing and a dark shadow quickly falls over the celebration. The immediate family races against time to find the unknown assailant, and stop the threat of murder that now threatens the newly married couple’s happiness.
