*2024 Watty Awards WINNER* All Vivienne Clarke wanted was to plan the best wedding of the season -- but of course, her libido gets in the way. ***** Socialite Violet Levine's *dream wedding in St. Tropez* must go off without a hitch, and Vivienne is the wedding planner behind the scenes to ensure that. She has every detail nailed down, has visited the castle-like venue dozens of times, met with vendors, and prepared everything to a T. But then Vivienne realizes the hot, filthy rich man she slept with the night before the wedding events begin is none other than Violet's older brother, the hotel mogul Axel Levine, who is paying for the whole shebang -- meaning her attraction to this man might risk her career. And when an out-of-the-blue storm threatens to flood the area where the Villa des Tropiques is located, she finds herself juggling problems beyond her control, and constantly teased by Axel's ever appealing -- and forbidden -- body. The more issues pile up on her plate, the more she becomes absolutely infatuated with Axel -- though he's the one signing her checks, and she most definitely cannot be seen frolicking with him. Between their sexual tension, and the looming storm about to literally rain on Violet's perfect day, how can Vivienne protect her reputation without losing her sanity -- and her underwear?
