About this book

***Award-winning author Millie Criswell has charmed readers with her joy-filled historical romances. Now, in The Trouble With Mary, she serves up her first contemporary romantic comedy--a palate-pleasing love story of two people with nothing in common . . . except their undeniable attraction.*** THE TROUBLE WITH MARY IS . . . She's unemployed. Her huge Italian family is driving her crazy. Her love life is nonexistent. In fact, she needs a life! So Mary decides to open a restaurant in Baltimore's Little Italy. And despite her mother's assurances that she will fail, the place is a big success--until the local paper delivers a scathing review of her pizza, pasta, and chocolate cannolis. Food critic Dan Gallagher hates Italian food--and his column shows it. Now Mary would like nothing more than to serve Dan on a steaming platter. Problem is, Mary is the most delectable woman Dan has ever met. And Dan is the most exasperating man Mary has ever encountered. And the trouble with chemistry is, neither one can resist it. . . .

"A high profile celebrity Hollywood wedding--just the diversion Jane Lawless needs. Recovering from injuries, single again, with the dreaded holidays closing in, Jane happily agrees to attend the soirée with her best friend, Cordelia Thorn. It's not just any wedding--Cordelia's Broadway diva sister, Octavia, is tying the knot for the third time. Nobody knows how Octavia met octogenarian Roland Lester, a reclusive relic of Tinseltown's Golden Age, and the secret has brought out all the paparazzi. When bodies start to fall, it's clear to Jane that the nuptials have brought out something far more sinister."--Page 4 of cover.
