But instead of a man-eating Southern belle in hoop skirts and big hats, my version of existence looks an awful lot like a financial conglomerate employee staring blankly at budget analysis spreadsheets. Either way, the motto has served me well most my life, until now, that is. The corporate retreat location has just been announced, and this city girl is headed to a dude ranch in the country.

"The devil made me do it" is a phrase that will never pass my lips. Why would it when I have Delores, my undiagnosed autoimmune disorder, to make all my decisions for me? (Yes, I named her myself since the doctors couldn’t do it for me.) A get together with friends? Delores says no. I’ll have my prescheduled daily afternoon fever and fatigue at that time.

I’m an education professional. How hard can taking care of a four-year-old and her over-stressed, over-worked father be?

The most interesting. The most addictive. The highest rated. Dahlia Irvine knows two things for sure: This show’s her chance to have a career all her own and her NFL-hottie husband is totally and completely in love with her. Except when the cameras start rolling, everything she knew for sure is no longer certain and the more she tries to fix what's wrong with her love and her life the worse it gets.

Mila Andrews has one goal. Keep the peace with bridezilla until Sunday. The wedding will be over. Her maid of honor duties will be complete, and her family drama will finally be a thing of the past. She'll board a plane, leave Hawaii, and life will be back to normal. Sunday. Seven days. In paradise. How hard could it be? Keaton Phillips has one goal. Convince the groom to end things by Saturday.
