June 2003 :: Mother of the Bride by Lynn Michaels
As June is the traditional month for weddings, I thought this book only appropriate.
What happens when the 19-year-old niece you've raised like a daughter announces that the boy you've just found her in bed with is her fiancee and is the nephew, raised like a son, of your favorite author?
This is exactly what happens to Cydney "Uncle Cyd" Parrish. It doesn't help that when Angus Munroe shows up, she's speaking to the picture she has of him, torn from an old magazine, above her computer. He also ends up in the hospital because niece Bebe takes offense at his stance about the marriage and pops him one on the nose.
Follow the family hijinks as Angus plans to derail the wedding, Cyd tries to remain sane, and the remaining family (Bebe's mother and Cyd's divorced parents) show up with their significant others du jour to help out.
