The $10,000,000 Texas Wedding

August 9, 2000
When high-powered, big-city attorney Gabe Dawson comes back to his rural Texas hometown to settle his grandmother's estate, he is stunned to learn that his matchmaking grandmother's will stipulates that unless he marries his teenage sweetheart, Katie, the estate will be divided between Katie and charity. Assuming that Katie knew all about it, Gabe angrily storms into her bakery to confront her and discovers that she is as appalled as he is. Although both are convinced the marriage would never work, old emotions bubble to the surface and, despite past hurts and misunderstandings, they can't deny the feelings they still have for each other. A sweet, upbeat romance filled with babies, would-be cowboys, meddling relatives and townspeople, and down-home Texas charm, this book lightly touches on issues of self-esteem, communication, and class differences and should appeal to readers who like their love stories on the warm, traditional side. Christenberry, a popular writer of contemporary series romances, lives in Texas.
