THE SOMETIME BRIDE
Third time's the charm?
Successful financier Carrie St. John has endured all the romantic disasters she thinks she can in a lifetime. That is, until her fiancé jilts her the weekend of her bridal shower.

But, at what price?
Mike Davis was finally going to prove his old high school buddies wrong. Voted "most likely to remain a bachelor" in his prestigious prep school's class, he was looking forward to ushering in his fiancée at his upcoming reunion. Suddenly empty-handed, he's got a new ploy in mind involving the ultra sexy and accomplished Carrie. But Mike doesn't bank on giving up his heart in the bargain. Neither does Carrie, who is soon to learn there are things that even money can't buy...

Dear Readers,
Some years ago, I was staying at a scenic country inn in Virginia. It was a place so primed for romance, that I couldn't help but think how horrible it might feel to come to this couples' retreat only to find yourself ditched. Next, I thought, what if you weren't the only one experiencing heartache at the lovely locale? And, what if that other person had been placed there by the fates because he (or she) was precisely the right person for you?
The seeds for the story bloomed quickly, complete with a stunning "swim god" and capable -- yet vulnerable -- Carrie. I couldn't wait to write the story and see where these characters took me. It turned out the adventure was filled with lots of love and laughter, and some unexpected secondary characters with archaic expressions that made me smile.
When you get to know Carrie you better understand the impact her past experiences (as well as being raised by her grandmother) have had on her. You also start to feel how desperately she wants to find a true and lasting love. Mike Davis has his own history, fraught with multiple girlfriends and a checkered past, but that doesn't mean he can't recognize the real deal when he sees it.
So, if you're a believer in romance and the fact that destiny sometimes plays a hand, please join in Mike and Carrie's journey. I hope you'll enjoy reading this story, as much as I did writing it.
With best wishes for happy endings,
Ginny Baird
