Marrying a stranger tops the list of things you should never do in Las Vegas, but I did it anyway. The entire night was my idea. I was the one who suggested a wake-up-with-a-tiger kind of night.

"Once in a while right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale." I saw that quote about fairy tales embroidered on a decorative pillow at a home decorating store.

Dear Santa: Please bring me a new boss for Christmas. Mine is the worst. The worst, hidden in a six-foot-tall package of male perfection. It’d be easier if he looked like an old Scrooge, wouldn’t it? Nick Saint-Croix doesn’t look like an old scrooge. He’s hot as - um, never mind. Just bring me a new boss. Please. Sincerely, Holly Winter

Lady Wharton tenía dolor de cabeza, como siempre le sucedía tras los primeros días en Londres. El ajetreo, el ruido y los imprevistos le provocaban un molesto dolor en la nuca. Aun así, le gustaba recostarse en el sofá mientras sus hijas parloteaban revoloteando por el salón de mañana».
