About this ebook
When Katie McCormick finds out that her sister is marrying her ex, she finally agrees to a setup for the big day.
Four days trapped at a mountain resort with her meddling relatives already sounds like an endurance test. In a family prone to high drama, surviving the weekend was never going to be simple.
Worse, her mother insists on pairing her with Howard Kent. Fourteen years ago, Howie was an awkward teenage nerd with thick glasses who treated her like a pest. Now she has to pretend they are together just to keep the family questions at bay.
Stepping into the lobby, she braces for the worst. Unfortunately for her peace of mind, the former nerd has grown up gorgeous. To her surprise, Jackson is a catch. But when wedding catastrophe ensues, will their sparks fizzle or ignite into flames?

Short and sweet. Perfect for an afternoon in the sun or an evening with a glass of wine. Mallery returns readers to Fool’s Gold with a hot & fast paced romance that oozes emotion and realism. She draws readers into her tale, allowing them to experience it alongside the readers. Mixing comedy with the difficulties of being the only single female at a family wedding, Mallery created a fantastic tale that I could not only relate to, but that I could barely put down. The sister in this story was perfect in her self-centred annoyingness. She was a definite counterpoint to the caring nature of our heroine. She also served to highlight the goodness & hero qualities of the male lead. As easily as Jackson and Katie could have held their own in a full length novel, their whirlwind romance was perfect for this novella. The dynamic between the two was off the charts. Sometimes a novella is just the thing. Mallery has definitely proven that with this one.

I'm confused so I know it's a novella but it does say 400 pgs but only show 102... I purchased the book so it's not the sample... is the description just wrong?
