To my gorgeous niece Cori and Jane and the rest of the crew at Clayton on the Park, in Scottsdale. Thanks for the inside look at the ups and downs of an event coordinatorâs life!
I could not have asked for two more beautiful or loving granddaughters. From the first day they came to live with meâone so young and frightened, the other still in diapersâthey filled the empty spaces in my heart with light and joy. Now Sarah, my quiet, elegant Sarah, is about to marry her handsome Dev. The wedding takes place in a few hours, and I ache with happiness for her.
And with such worry for her sister. My darling Eugenia has waltzed through life, brightening even the sourest dispositions with her sparkling smile and carefree, careless joie de vivre. Now, quite suddenly that carelessness has caught up with her. Sheâs come face-to-face with reality, and I can only pray the strength and spirit I know she possesses will help her through the difficult days ahead.
Enough of this. I must dress for the wedding. Then itâs off to the Plaza, which has been the scene of so many significant events in my life. But none to match the delight of this one!
From the diary of Charlotte,
Grand Duchess of Karlenburgh
Gina St. Sebastian forced a smile to hide her gritted teeth. âGood Lord, youâre stubborn, Jack.â
âIâm stubborn?â
The irate male standing before her snapped his sun-bleached brows together. Ambassador John Harris Mason III was tanned, tawny-haired and a trim, athletic six-one. He was also used to being in charge. The fact that he couldnât control Gina or the situation they now found themselves in irritated him no end.
âYouâre pregnant with my child, dammit. Yet you refuse to even discuss marriage.â
âOh, for...! Trumpet the news to the whole world, why donât you?â
Scowling, Gina craned her neck to peer around the bank of gardenias shielding her and Jack from the other guests in the Terrace Room of New York Cityâs venerable Plaza Hotel. With its exquisitely restored Italian Renaissance ceiling and crystal chandeliers modeled after those in the Palace of Versailles, it made a fabulous venue for a wedding.
A wedding put together on extremely short notice! Theyâd had less than two weeks to pull it off. The groomâs billions had eased the time crunch considerably, as had the miracle worker Dev Hunter employed as his executive assistant. Gina had done all the planning, though, and she would not allow the man sheâd spent one wild weekend with to disrupt her sisterâs wedding day.
Luckily no one seemed to have heard his caustic comment. The band was currently pulsing out the last bars of a lively merengue. Sarah and Dev were on the dance floor, along with the St. Sebastiansâ longtime housekeeper, Maria, and most of the guests invited to the elegant affair.
Ginaâs glance shot from the dancers to the lace-clad woman sitting ramrod-straight in her chair, hands crossed on the ebony head of her cane. The duchess was out of earshot, too, thank God! Hearing her younger granddaughterâs pregnancy broadcast to the world at large wouldnât have fit with her notions of proper behavior.
