This review is from: Father of the Bride/Handsome as Sin (Romance 2-in-1) (Paperback)

Father of the Bride-Russ Shaw was returning to St Louis for the first time in 25 years, at the request of his daughter. Diane wanted him to give her away at her wedding, but Diane's mother objected. When the bride's parents confront each other, they rekindled their love.

Handsome as Sin- Jake Devereaux was a lot more than a sexy commone theif, he was a wealthy one with a questionable MO. Charisma clung to him, as did an air tight alibi, much to Ellie Tanner's dismay. A murder had been committed, and if Jake hadn't done it, then Ellie was the prime suspect!
