Seducing Avery Read online

  Avery had phoned her mother out of courtesy, not invitation. She was sure her mother would be crafty enough to explain her way out of the humiliation to all her society friends for not actually being at her daughter’s wedding.

  Kyle had agreed to get certified on the Internet to perform the ceremony. A man of the cloth, he’d joked, was something he’d never been asked to be before. Fashion designers quietly clamored for the privilege of designing Avery’s dress, more so than usual because her capricious style gave them the rare chance to play around with the traditional white dress.

  She gave the honor to the one who understood her style and had discovered her first. It came as no surprise she ended up choosing his first design.

  The dress was funky, fashionable, and more importantly, totally her.

  There were no guests at the lighthouse ceremony where two people stood on the edge of the world and vowed to love each other for the rest of eternity.

  Ryker quietly promised to cherish Avery forever. The look in his eyes when he said it more than sealed the deal.

  Avery made a similar promise.

  Then she said, “I do,” while wrapped in the arms of the one man who made her feel—truly—completely—beautiful, and absolutely loved.

  A word about the author...

  Barb Han lives in North Texas with her husband, has three beautiful children, a spunky Golden Retriever/Standard Poodle mix, and too many books to count.

  When she’s not writing, researching, or otherwise getting lost in a story, she volunteers at her children’s school, is in the kitchen “creating” dinner, or can be found on or around a basketball court.

  Writing contemporary romance and romantic suspense has been a dream come true for Barb—something she’s wanted to do for as long as she can remember. She left her corporate job, at her husband’s urging, and has been happily playing with imaginary friends ever since.

  Learn more about her latest releases at www.barbhan.com and don’t forget to say hi. She loves hearing from readers.
