I was delighted to be invited to
headline the new boxed set Magical
Weddings. I first heard about the set from one of the other authors, and I
remember thinking what an intriguing idea it was to mix magic and weddings, and
how much I’d like to be involved. But since I don’t write paranormal, I figured
my stories wouldn’t fit.
In fact, however, though some of
the Magical Weddings stories involve
witches and ghosts and enchantments, in others the magic is metaphorical. My
book, a Regency-era novella titled Her
Wedding Wager, is an example. The magic between my characters is subtle and
doesn’t involve wands or spells.
Simon Montrose and Celia Overton
are distant cousins, and they know each other far too well to feel romantic,
particularly because their great-uncle is pushing them into marrying. But then
they end up at a wedding house party where they come to see each other in a
completely different light. Their sudden realization felt magical to me – and I
hope it will to readers as well.

hearts of the bride and groom, the magic of weddings is undeniable, and
irresistible – as these 15 enchanting happily-ever-afters by bestselling and
award-winning authors prove. From sweet to spicy, the romances bundled into Magical Weddings cross time and unite

Thank you for hosting me, Paty! I hope your readers will share what's been magical in their own lives and romances...
Sounds like a great set! I look forward to reading your book!
Thank you, Maggie! I know you'll enjoy it -- this set has something for everyone.
It certainly felt magical to me, Leigh. And I am referring to the magical development between Simon and Celia in Her Wedding Wager. Betting is a lot like gambling - high risk but sweet reward. :D
I've read Her Wedding Wager and it's fantastic. A perfect beach read, as is all of this set. It includes a number of historicals, but there are stories for everyone in this one.
