The Bridal Party
When your uncle is doing drunk handstands at your wedding, you send your best friends to get him off the dance floor.

When vengeful former lovers, malicious spirits, and demons threaten the wedding day-or the world-you hire these fools.

Cassandra Friend, aloof head mercenary of the Friend Event Company, has seen it all. From her own eclectic crew to spiteful mothers-in-law, from fey abductions mid-vows to hellmouths threatening to swallow groomsmen. But that's just what happens when powerful entities try to seize the magical potential created by emotional human life events.

Even she with her jaded worldview is surprised to receive an invitation from reclusive nobleman Alexander Fremont, shrouded in secrecy and tinged with the scent of money. Instead of a socially inept hermit, he is both charming and suspiciously evasive. His job offer: to safeguard the Crown Prince's wedding. It's hard to turn down. But a prince has many enemies, and demonic forces quickly reveal themselves.

As far as Cass is concerned, however, the greater threat may be the closest of all. The quick-on-his-feet, quick-with-a-smile best man who hired her group of nobodies keeps to himself, but is plenty happy to enjoy her company...while disappearing at unusual times.

To save the wedding, her home, and her friends, Cass must unravel the web of secrecy binding Amaranth from top to bottom-the very bottom.
