It took a lot for her to be convinced by her friends to take the weekend enjoying herself around a roulette wheel in Vegas. Apparently, it takes much less convincing for her to marry a charming and arrogant stranger. It's just a shame that what happens in Vegas, doesn't stay there. That shit follows you home. - #1 in Funny This book can be read as a stand alone, but character cross overs occur from my first book, 'Mr and Mrs Nemesis'. Be prepared for lots of swearing. A shit tonne. - Soon to undergo slow grammatical editing and minor plot changes.
