Josie Belle Pickens was in a jam...
She'd always imagined sailing into matrimony on a wave of passion, not on a current of convenience. But she had to wed within a week-and lacked a groom. Until, like a wondrous Sioux warrior, her long-lost friend Ben Standing Bear rode to her rescue. So potently handsome, he turned heads even in the small Southern town that had rejected his kind, and still, Ben bravely accepted Josie's proposal of a six-month marriage.
Trouble was, their old friendship suddenly caught fire, and soon Josie was sizzling. And instead of awaiting an annulment, she ached to burrow into Ben's arms-and live happily ever after in his heart.

When Ben Standing Bear comes to her prenuptial party in response to an invitation, Josie Belle Pickens takes one look and knows she's marrying the wrong man. So when her future husband and her future mother-in-law show their prejudice against the Native American, Josie invites him to dance -- not just any dance, mind you, but the tango, the only legal way to make love in public! Considering the fact that Josie's dancing with her friend rather than her fiancée, its no wonder the whole town is atwitter with rumor. Of course Josie ends the evening by returning her engagement ring to her fiancé, but she doesn't count on the explosion waiting at home, or her own response.
Meddlesome Aunt Tess moved in with Josie's mother when her father passed away. Her mother's not much for standing up for herself or for her daughter, and when Aunt Tess' prodding proves to be beyond her endurance, Josie promises there will still be a wedding on Saturday. Josie specializes in rushing in where angels fear to tread, and her enthusiasms and vivaciousness sweep Ben Standing Bear right along with her. On Saturday they will walk down the aisle, without preparing anyone in town for the switch of grooms. But maybe Ben likes the idea of marrying Josie, and maybe hearts have better sense than logic anyway.
As Ben and Josie discover their love for one another, and learn to risk sharing those feelings, the reader is swept away on a tide of passion and romance. Combined with a healthy dose of giggles, INVITATION TO A WEDDING will prove to be the most delightful and memorable invitation to fun that the reader can possibly experience. Once again Peggy Webb's powerful storytelling voice makes the improbable not only believable, but an adventure to remember.
