Catherine Castle stopped by to share her new book! Take it away, Catherine!
.
Bidding on the Bouquet,
released December 6, 2017, is a contemporary inspirational romance and is my
third book as a solo author. My other two books are inspirational romantic
suspense and a sweet romantic comedy. I also coauthor with my husband under a
different pen name. The book’s idea sprang from a news article about a bride
who demanded her bridesmaids bid for a spot in her wedding. As you know, fact can
be stranger than fiction and often makes a great jumping off point for an interesting
story. Bidding on the Bouquet is
one of those examples involving a down-on-her-luck heroine and a wealthy, elitist
hero. Two people from different social
classes. Two different philosophies. One bridal bouquet to unite them. I
hope readers will like this fun story.
Book blurb from Bidding on the
Bouquet
The chance to catch
a bridal bouquet containing a solid gold rose makes underprivileged,
down-on-her-luck grad student Marietta Wilson pawn everything she owns to come
up with a bid to win a bridesmaid spot in the most prestigious wedding of the
season.
When he discovers
his sister is auctioning off bridesmaid spots in her wedding party, wealthy,
elitist Chip Vandermere is appalled. Not only is it in poor taste, but no
self-respecting lady would stoop so low as to bid. Convinced Marietta is a gold
digger, Chip sets out to thwart her plans.
A social climber and
a social misfit. Can a bridal bouquet unite them?

Stunned,
Marietta reread the invitation. Chrissy Vandermere? The only Vandermere she
knew was her wealthy classmate Chip Vandermere, and they weren’t on real
talking terms. Nor did they run in the same circles. They only had a few of the
same classes and a couple of case studies together in which he had commandeered
the group. The guy thought himself a born, or rather a privileged, leader. His
attitude had driven her nuts, and, although he was one hot guy who knew he had
undeniable sex appeal, she’d stayed away from him as much as she could. She was
at the MBA program to learn and conquer, not be someone’s conquest.
