Someone didn't want her to get married...

Written warnings made it clear that a trip to the altar could mean death for Mary Wilder. She quit planning her fairy-tale wedding to Washington, D.C.'s most eligible bachelor — long enough for her fiancé to hire tough guy Trace Armstrong.

With her society wedding just days away, the threats against her became more menacing. Someone was definitely going to stop the ceremony — but was it her stalker or her bodyguard?
