A
Christmas Wedding In Mayhem
You’re
cordially invited to the wedding of the century! Please join bride-trying-not-to-be-a-zilla
Hennessy O’Halloran and her prince-in-shining-snow-boots as they finally say,
“I do.” Unless a rogue wedding planner and a blizzard that takes out the entire
Midwest can stop them, these two will get married on Christmas. The town of
Mayhem will make sure of it.
A
Surprise Baby In Mayhem
The
town of Mayhem, Minnesota, is about to have a population explosion…and the
Whiskey Sisters are getting more than they expected! While newlyweds Henny and
Bryan are anxiously awaiting not one but two little bundles of joy, Jameson and
Scott are focusing on planning their own perfect wedding, with only one
troublesome toddler in tow. But babies have a way of arriving on their own
schedules…and fate has a way of intervening in this quirky hamlet. Now, the couple
finds themselves scrambling to beat the clock—and the odds—to their own happily
ever after before their unexpected special delivery arrives.
Travel
to the quirky town of Mayhem, Minnesota, with these two companion novellas that
prove love, and sisterhood, will always save the day.

EXCERPT ONE:
From Novella 1: Christmas Chaos
I
pull her into my arms, reveling in the feel of her soft curves pressed against
my chest, and rest my chin atop her blonde head. She buries her face into my
sweatshirt.
“Hennessy,
honey, you need to stop worrying about all the little details. We’ve come this
far and, with the help of a whole lotta people, we’re going to have a beautiful
wedding. With or without heat. With or without light. As long as you’re there
with me, up at the altar, then nothing else matters,” I murmur into her hair.
She
looks up at me with pale blue eyes, brows arched in concern.
“Bryan,
I don’t consider heat and light ‘little details.’ And the roads—they’re like
ice! How will anyone get here safely? How will we get here safely?”
I
sigh and brush the hair back off her forehead.
“Do
you have any idea how much I love you?” I ask. “And that’s not a rhetorical
question.”
“I
think I have some idea,” she replies, the corners of her mouth quirking up a
little.
I
shake my head.
“No,
I don’t think you do. I wanted this wedding to happen fast because I couldn’t
wait another day to be married to you. Don’t you see? It doesn’t matter—none of
it matters. In the end, it’s just you and me taking a vow before God. It’s not
the wedding, Hennessy. It’s the marriage.”
Her
eyes study mine for a long moment before she puts a soft hand to my cheek.
“I’ll
try to stay calm,” she assures me. “And I do know how much you love me…because
that’s how much I love you, too.”
I
lean down, my lips finding hers. It’s a beautiful, candlelit moment. Until it’s
not.
“Noooooooooo,
Mama! Miiiiiiiiiiine!”
Our
kiss transforms into a double-sided snort of laughter. We pull away from one
another, chuckling. When she opens her mouth to say something, I hold up my
index finger to stop her.
“And
before you worry about Jax being too young, or too unpredictable, he’s a little
detail, too. An incredibly loud, incredibly destructive detail…but a little
one, nonetheless.”
“Yeah,
well, maybe we should reconsider letting him be the ring bearer,” she says.
“Why?
You don’t think he can handle it?”
“Uh,
well, you know the plastic bottle cap ring we’re using for practice?”
“Yeah…”
I nod, wondering where she’s going with this.
“He
just swallowed it.”

AUTHOR BIO:
L.E. Rico didn’t
set out to be an author. In fact, she’s made a name for herself as a classical
music radio host—doing her best to make the music and the composers relevant by
putting them into a modern context. It was just a few years ago that she
discovered a passion for writing that blossomed into an entire novel. And then
another. And another. And, while she still spends plenty of time on the radio,
telling the stories of the great composers, she spends even more time composing
her own great stories.
