A Groom for Mama
By Catherine Castle
Beverly Walters is dying, and before
she goes she has one wish—to find a groom for her daughter. To get
the deed done, Mama enlists the dating service of Jack Somerset,
Allison’s former boyfriend.
The last thing corporate-climbing
Allison wants is a husband. Furious with Mama’s meddling, and a bit
more interested in Jack than she wants to admit, Allison agrees to
the scheme as long as Mama promises to search for a cure for her
terminal illness.
A cross-country trip from Nevada to
Ohio ensues, with a string of disastrous dates along the way, as the
trio hunts for treatment and A Groom For Mama.
Excerpt:
With a sweep of his
hand, Jack spread the photos out on the table in front of Allison and
Beverly. “Here’s a few I just grabbed from the database. Any of
them interesting?” He studied Allison’s reaction. She didn’t
bat an eyelash as she scanned the men’s pictures. Then, without
warning, she scooped them up and shoved them at him.
“I told Mama I
wasn’t going to do this. It’s a stupid idea.”
“I’ll admit
it’s not the ‘some enchanted evening, see a stranger across the
room’ romantic way to find a husband, but it’s not totally
unacceptable. Several of the couples my company has brought together
have married.”
“And lived
happily ever after?” she retorted.
“It’s a new
company, Allison. I don’t have the stats yet.” He pushed the
photos across the table. “Just take a peek. What harm can it do?”
Beverly grabbed the
photo of a particularly handsome man. “How about this one? His
coloring complements yours. You’d have beautiful children.”
Mama!” Allison
snatched the photo away. “We’re not going to discuss my possible,
yet unlikely, progeny in front of Jack.”
A flash of Allison
kissing this guy flew through his head. He grabbed the photo from
her. “He’s not your type anyway.”
“And just how do
you know?” she asked.
“I dated you,
remember? You ditched me for some suave, corporate hotshot. At least
it’s what you said.”
“Allison!”
Beverly exclaimed. “You never told me that.”
Allison shot him a
fierce scowl. “I’m not comfortable discussing my love life with
you, Mama. Besides, what’s done and over with should be buried . .
. in the past.” She picked up another photo. “What about him? Or
him and him?” She pointed to two nerdy-looking fellows. “They
seem corporate.”
Mama leaned over
and checked out the pictures Allison had indicated. “Too ugly,”
she said. “He’s got to be handsome. Like Jack. I want to know my
grandbabies will be as beautiful as you two.”
He grinned. “Thanks
for the compliment, but I know I’m not your daughter’s type.”
He laid a sheet of paper on the counter. “Fill this out. Then I can
get a better idea of what you want in a husband.”
“I don’t want—”
“I know,” he
interjected. “But, for your mom’s sake, just pretend you do.”
