Crystal flicked the switch on the dash and the retractable roof of the Aston began to sweep effortlessly into place. She reluctantly ceased bopping along to the music and turned down the volume on the stereo, squaring her shoulders as she automatically checked her reflection in the rear view mirror and reached over to pick up her bag.
Crystal has a wedding to plan; not a big, showbiz, glitzy corporate wedding, but a small intimate family affair, full of rustic charm and pure country appeal. Whilst she dreams of marrying long-time lover Jazz, she’s kept busy trying to avoid his pampered and immeasurably prissy sister Imogen.
When she discovers some love-letters hidden amongst some of Jazz’s possessions, she reacts quite badly and takes on a dangerous liaison of her own.
