A Story by Patricia Sargeant
A Groom Once Again: Meet the Bridegrooms, Novella 2
By Patricia Sargeant
Three confirmed bachelors get a second chance with their one true love ...
For this groom, it will take the right words to get back to the altar ...
Cynical screenwriter Asher Tomlin needs help researching and writing the script for his company's historical documentary. Before their divorce almost three years ago, Asher and his ex-wife had made an impressive scriptwriting team. Now Asher's two business partners and best friends urge him to turn to her again. Asher doesn't need much prodding, though, to commit to doing whatever it takes to reunite with his ex-wife.
The clock is ticking for jaded editorial consultant Zora Dabney. Her biological clock, that is. While they were married, she and Asher had agreed to have children. Now she's divorced and childless. So when Asher asks for her help creating the script for his documentary, she tests his claim that he's willing to do whatever it takes to get her to work with him.
If Asher and Zora find a way to collaborate on the script, can they also find a way back to the altar?
A Groom to Worth the Wait is a second-chance-at-love / reunion contemporary romance that reunites a mature couple. It's an adversaries-to-lovers, opposite-attract love story.
Excerpt: A Groom Worth the Wait
Alexis hesitated. "When do you start production?"
Nathan didn't want to pressure her, either by words or deeds, but how could he make their documentary irresistible to her? Why should she choose their project over Wes's much more lucrative one?
Why should she choose him over Wes?
"Production starts as soon as we can get a D.P." Nathan spread his hands. "We're anxious to release the doc this fall. Next year, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum will celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Negro National Leagues. We want our project to be part of that celebration. Are you interested?"
"I'd need to leave by the beginning of July." Alexis's eyes narrowed as though she was picturing her work schedule. "I'll need time to prepare to leave for Benin with the other production crew at the end of the month."
"That's plenty of time. This is only the beginning of May."
"There's no give in my schedule, Nate." Alexis pinned him with a warning look. "I'd need to leave, whether or not your production's done."
Holding her gaze, Nathan leaned into the table and lowered his voice. "Lexi, what's holding you back?"
Alexis considered him for several silent beats. "Not what; you. I still have reservations about working with you."
That stung. Nathan sat back. "We're not twenty-somethings anymore."
"Age doesn't guarantee wisdom." Alexis chuckled. Her smile warmed her features, brightened her eyes - and stole a large chunk of his heart.
Nathan took a moment to refocus. "Do you trust me?"
Alexis tilted her head. "I don't know you."
"That's about to change."
For better ... or for worse?
