The man before her was 100% sexy. 100% grown. 100% her wildest fantasy incarnate. No one likes a high school reunion. Ok, maybe some people do. Those who are born with the rare amalgamation of genes that allow for a Disney movie version of secondary school. It wasn’t the case for Jenny then, and it certainly wasn’t the case for her now. Ongoing fights with brain cancer left her with a permanent bad hair day for her teen years and the only thing worse than disinterest from an adolescent peer group is pity. Nothing sexy about that. Not then, not now. Luckily, most of the time, high school feels very far away. Ten years away. Except it’s not anymore. The reunion is looming, and Jenny has already RSVP’d with a plus one. Finally, a chance to show up looking decent, image vastly improved by the date on her arm. Or it would have been, had he not dumped her. She’d cancel, but she can’t. She’s got a job teaching in the same school as of January, so this Christmas party is a must. A holiday high school reunion? What could be worse? Maybe, it’s finding out the date her best friend pulls together last minute is actually her high school boyfriend. Back, and hotter than ever.

Katie Frey has spent the better part of her adult life in pursuit of her own happily ever after. Said pursuit involved international travel, several false starts and a few red herrings before she moved from Canada to Switzerland. Once in the land of cheese and wine, she was quickly enchanted by both the mountains and the mountain men—one of the latter in particular! She now lives in a small hamlet on the outskirts of Lausanne, where she mostly enjoys getting lost in the woods – but never so far as to not be found by her two little gremlin daughters, and free-range chickens. Grateful that her romantic misadventures gave her lots of fodder for her writing, she often disappears to write in local coffee shops. Any excuse to stay near the fresh croissants! Nearly Wed is her first work of commercially available fiction. Merci and Bon Appetit!
