A wedding saboteur takes on a family assignment

Lucy Delgado turns her disillusionment with marriage into a job: disrupting weddings to spare couples mistakes she believes she has already made. After she crashes the wrong ceremony, Anders Kennedy recruits her to pose as his girlfriend and undermine his sister’s upcoming nuptials from inside the family circle. Their arrangement brings Lucy into a round of family celebrations and secrets, where the pair’s plans intersect with their own doubts about marriage. The setup combines a professional wedding saboteur, a fake-dating scheme, and questions about whether cynicism can withstand the possibility of love.

  • For readers interested in contemporary romantic fiction built around a fake-dating arrangement.

Book overview

"How to Ruin a Weddingis the kind of book that makes you laugh so hard you snort in public, and then you have to pretend you were coughing. Lucy is my new favorite human, and I would absolutely hire her to ruin any wedding." --Mindy Kaling

When a professional wedding crasher storms the wrong party, an irresistibly charming man enlists her services for a job that's about to give her outlook on love a run for its money.

Lucy Delgado knows all about things that don't work out. Between two failed marriages and losing her job, "meant to be" doesn't seem to mean much anymore. And watching her sister's marriage deteriorate isn't convincing Lucy otherwise.

Desperate for money and disillusioned by love, she turns her nothing-left-to-lose attitude into action as a professional wedding saboteur. Lucy knows how to play any part--old lover, nosy relative, wise stranger--to save brides and grooms from making the same mistakes she did.

Until she crashes the wrong ceremony.

For Anders Kennedy, Lucy's timing couldn't be better. She's exactly what he needs to derail his own sister's upcoming nuptials by posing as Anders's new girlfriend so she can slip into the family circle and sabotage from within. And Anders has the kind of money Lucy can't afford to turn down.

As they fake-date their way through family celebrations, high jinks, and secrets, Lucy and Anders are forced to confront their cynicism about marriage. Their schemes were meant for the greater good, but what if love really does conquer all?
