Nancy Lee Badger Presents Catherine Castle



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?

Marietta dug into the envelope again and retrieved a smaller card and matching envelope.

I, ________________________, will be pleased to attend the auction.



My opening bid is $_______
Should I win a spot, I will be available on August 9
to be part of the wedding party
for Chrissy Vandermere
and
Jock Sterlingson

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.
