Mallery keeps up interested in "The Marcelli Bride"

Fans of Susan Mallery's Marcelli sisters trilogy will definitely want to check out her latest book, "The Marcelli Bride"($6.99, Pocket Star Books).

We get to visit again with Marco and Colleen Marcelli, Grandpa Lorenzo, Grandma Tessa, Grammy M and sisters Katie, Francesa, Brenna and Mia.

This time out it's Joe Larson's story -- brother to the Marcelli sisters. Joe, a Navy SEAL, is put on baby-sitting duty guarding Darcy Jensen, one of the president's daughters. Joe is not looking forward to the detail, as Darcy has a reputation for being difficult. He's also not too crazy about the "safe" location where Darcy will be hidden away.

Darcy is not too crazy about the situation either. She was out shopping, minding her own business, when she's kidnapped out from under of the nose of her Secret Service detail. After being manhandled, tossed into the back of a dirty van and taken to a warehouse, the kidnapper's leader shows up and chastises them for taking the "wrong" first daughter. They'd been after Darcy's sister, Lauren, the popular and beloved sister of the first family. Loaded back into the van, Darcy is taken back to the mall from where she was snatched and dumped.

Darcy and Lauren are immediately taken into hiding, at separate locations, until the kidnappers can be identified and rounded up. Lauren's destination is somewhere in the Midwest, while Darcy is headed for the California wine country and the Marcelli Winery.

Joe has issues with his "family." Darcy has issues with her father and her public life. But just maybe they can work out their issues together while managing to keep Darcy safe and maybe falling in love.
