Overview

Throughout her 23 years, Peyton Prescott was used to running the show. That went into overdrive the minute she agreed to become a bride. Born into an affluent Southern family, she was expected to fulfill her social obligation to marry well, and found that unsuspecting groom in her pushover fiance, Leland Goodreau. He, like the rest of her family, catered to her every whim to keep her happy, and she predicted a satisfactory, if not boring, existence as his missus. In fact, the only real human to stand up to this bridezilla from hell is Mateo Bravo, one of the chefs she considers to cater the blessed event. Sparks fly the minute they meet and out of sheer defiance, she hires Mateo and his sister Naomi for every social gathering in the remaining months until she marries. Mateo, unlike any other man she's ever met, doesn't put up with Peyton's behavior. With a masculine energy that she finds alluring and exciting, he turns her entitled existence upside down by showing her she's not always the boss. No one is more surprised than she is when she finds out that she kind of likes it. Peyton decides to seduce, and then dump, the middle-class cook, just to get him out from under her skin. Instead she finds out that there are a few things in life even the great Peyton Prescott can't plan. This standalone novel from author Ginger Voight explores the various ways love can find us when we least expect it.

Sin in the Second City is a masterful history lesson, a harrowing biography, and---best of all---a superfun read.... I can't recommend this book loudly enough. ---Darin Strauss, author of Chang and Eng

Author Information

Ginger Voight is a prolific author and freelance writer, as well as an optioned screenwriter. Her non-fiction covers a wide range of topics from travel to politics, and her fiction is equally diverse. She covers mainstream fiction with darker topics, such as DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS, as well as family-friendly fare like her fun kids' adventure, COMIC SQUAD. Thanks to a steady diet of Harlequin romances as a pre-teen, Ginger always manages to find her way back home to her first love: genre romance. In 2011, she embarked on a new journey - to publish romance novels starring women who look more like the average American woman. She plucked plus-size characters from the supporting cast of most mainstream fiction and allowed them to star in their very own fairy tales. These Rubenesque romances have developed a following thanks to her best-selling GROUPIE series. Other titles, such as LOVE PLUS ONE, THE UNDISCIPLINED BRIDE and the highly-rated New Adult series, FIERCE, tap into the reality-TV preoccupation in American entertainment, which gives her contemporary stories a current, pop culture edge. Known for writing gut-twisting angst, Ginger is unafraid to push the envelope with characters that are perfectly imperfect. Whether rich, poor, sweet, selfish, gay, straight, plus-size or slender, her characters are beautifully flawed and three-dimensional. They populate these lavish fictional landscapes that teach us more about the real world in which we live, simply through their interaction with each other. Her goal with every book is to give the reader a little bit more than they were expecting, told in stories they'll never forget.
