Once townspeople began calling her masterpiece the Bad Luck Wedding Dress, Jenny Fortune knew it spelled trouble for her Fort Worth dressmaking shop. Just because the Bailey brides had met with one mishap or another after wearing Jenny's loveliest creation, her clientele had begun to stay away in droves. Yet Jenny was still betting she could turn her luck around—by wearing the gown herself at her very own wedding. If only she could find a groom...

Trace McBride is as likely a candidate as any. The attractive widower is raising three little girls who are fast becoming three little outlaws. They can all use a woman's loving touch. Jenny isn't altogether sure she knows how to convince a man to offer a marriage proposal, but she is willing to take off her spectacles, let down her honey-blond hair, and even give flirtation a try. When seduction leads to passion, Jenny is willing to risk everything—even her life—on the chance that she'll be lucky in love.

THE BAD LUCK WEDDING DRESS was a finalist for the coveted RITA award given by Romance Writers of America.
