      A Marriage of True Minds, A Sasha McCandless Novella - Melissa F. Miller

      1

      H and it over, Mac.

      Naya stood, one hand on a silk-sheathed hip, the other, palm up, waiting to receive Sasha’s Blackberry.

      Come on. Really?

      Naya glanced behind her for support from her fellow bridesmaids. Only Maisy, relatively fearless as befits a television journalist, dared to respond.

      Really, Maisy agreed. She bobbed her head vigorously, and her curly blonde updo bounced, threatening to tumble out of its knot and over her shoulders.

      Sasha’s sisters-in-law pretended not to be aware of the face-off. Riley listened with apparent fascination to Jordan’s enthusiastic description of the stainless steel food mill she used to make homemade baby food.

      "It’s your rule," Naya insisted.

      "False. My rule is no weapons at the wedding. Connelly’s the one who said no cell phones."

      Only their wedding would include guests who would otherwise attend with a firearm holstered on one side, and a mobile phone on the other.

      Same difference. You’re about to be united as one. Your husband said leave the phones at home or in the suites. You can’t be the one who disregards his rule.

      Her maid of honor had a point. If ever there was a time to let her calls roll to voicemail, it was probably during her wedding weekend.

      No need to concede so easily, though. She’d worked with Naya long enough to know that the better course was to let Naya think her victory was hard-won.

      What? You think I’m going to obey him, suddenly?

      Naya gave her the look.

      No. But I think it would be very rude for you to show up at the rehearsal with your phone. Now, will you please stop being a brat and give me the phone?

      Fine. But it’s on you if we miss a client emergency tonight.

      Sasha powered off the device and slapped it into Naya’s open palm.

      It’s New Year’s weekend. There aren’t going to be any client emergencies, unless you’ve started practicing DUI law and forgot to tell me. Everything is tied down at home, and if an emergency does crop up, I’ve arranged to refer it to Mickey.

      Sasha blinked. Collins?

      Admittedly, she’d been distracted for most of December, what with planning a wedding abroad, holiday preparations, and taking care of the administrative niceties involved with adding Will Volmer as a partner in her law firm. She’d been more than happy to let her usually able legal assistant handle the coverage arrangements for the days that the entire firm would be in Nicaragua celebrating her nuptials. But Mickey Collins? A class action plaintiff’s attorney was hardly the logical choice to backstop a corporate defense firm.

      Yes, Mickey Collins. And don’t even start. Will approved it. Mickey likes you. He’ll do a good job, and nothing’s going to come up anyway. You know you just want to check the kitty cam at the pet hotel so you can make sure Java’s being spoiled.

      Naya’s tone was brusque but her eyes were laughing.

      Sasha tried to hide her grin. It was true, she’d passed quite a bit of time watching her cat nap on a fluffy pillow thanks to the magic of the eco-resort’s free wireless service—in between leisurely walks on the snowy white private beach with Connelly, hikes through the lush, green jungle, and decadent picnic lunches perched on the rocks above the cove where the dolphins played tag in the surf.

      She’d spent the past three days relaxing without any thought of what might be happening at the offices of McCandless & Volmer, LLP. There was no reason to ruin her track record now. All that was left was the wedding rehearsal, the rehearsal dinner, and then, tomorrow, the wedding itself.

      The wedding. A little shiver of anticipation inched up her spine.

      In a little more than twenty-four hours, she and Connelly would be married, and their destination wedding would magically convert into a honeymoon, while Naya and Will returned to the law firm and the real world with the rest of their guests.

      The thought of weaving her life together with Connelly’s made her catch her breath. The force of her feelings almost knocked her off balance.

      She let her eyes travel around the cozy room and fall on each of the women who’d come to stand next to her as she wed Connelly, and her joy increased until she felt as though her heart might burst.

      A gentle tap on the door forestalled whatever gooey speech was about to pour from her mouth.

      The thatched door eased open inward and her mother’s impeccably coiffed hair filled the opening, followed by the rest of her.

      How are we doing in here, girls? Valentina asked, letting her eyes travel slowly over the assembled group in search of a bra strap peeking out from a dress or a tendril of hair that had escaped its bun.

      Satisfied, she turned her attention from the bridesmaids to her daughter. The assembled women shared a communal breath of relief at having passed inspection. And this was just the rehearsal. Sasha didn’t want to imagine the level of scrutiny her mother would bring to bear to the actual wedding.

      We’re great, mom. Just waiting for the word that it’s show time.

      Sasha looked over her mother’s shoulder for Charlotte Givens, knowing that where her mother went, the resort’s wedding coordinator was certain to follow.

      And, sure enough, the trim, British expatriate ducked under Valentina’s
