      Chapter One

      ...and I’ve signed you up for ballroom dancing lessons, said the pretty, petite blonde.

      "You what? Jeez, Carrie!" Jared Whitman gaped at his sister.

      You heard me. Carrie flopped on to her sofa and grinned up at her big brother. "Since Daddy’s gone, you’ll be giving me away. And that includes the father/daughter dance. And dancing with Mom, like a good son."

      Jesus! When did you become such a bridezilla? Jared sank his six-foot-three frame into a wing chair and leaned his elbows on his knees. You know I’m a lousy dancer.

      Exactly. I value my feet, she said, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Hence the lessons. And I’m not a bridezilla...yet."

      Did Mom put you up to this?

      Carrie grinned and shook her head. Nope. I thought this one up all by myself.

      Are you making Nick take lessons too? Jared referred to Carrie’s fiancé, a really great guy she’d met in college, and someone he approved of completely for his winsome baby sister.

      Carrie gave him a coy glance, the gesture ruined when she burst into giggles. Contrary to you, he knows how to dance already.

      Shit! Jared dropped his head into his hands and tried to figure a way out of this potentially embarrassing situation. Unfortunately he couldn’t. Truth was he loved his little sister to his own detriment. She’d always been able to wrap him around her little finger, and she knew it. He was stuck.

      He sat up and took a deep cleansing breath. Fine. When and where?

      Ooo! Yippee! Carrie jumped up from the sofa and clapped her hands together. She leapt across the space between them, landing in his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. Thank you, Jar! You’re the best brother ever!

      Jared chuckled and hugged her back. Man, but you are going to owe me big time.

      She sat back in his arms and laughed, tousling his longish sandy blonde hair. You think?

      He laughed. She was right. He’d never call in the favor. So tell me about this class you’ve wrangled me into.

      Carrie hopped up off his knee, picked up a flyer from the coffee table and handed it to him. She flopped back down on the
