A Case of Extreme Mistaken Identity - Victorine E. Lieske Page 0,65
there. Hardly any guests, even. It was family and very close friends, and that was it. To say that she wanted an intimate wedding was an understatement. She actually had wanted to elope, but her father had been so disappointed, she’d finally relented and agreed to a small affair.
The minister spoke, and she tried to listen to what he was saying, but it was difficult. She was going to be married to the love of her life. That was so hard to believe. There had been a time in her life when she’d thought that was impossible. She wasn’t sure if she could ever trust a man again. But she was so thankful that she had put herself out there and had texted Austin. This last year had been full of so much joy.
Austin reached out and took her hands in his. It was time for him to recite his vows. “Dani, I’ve loved you ever since I saw you covered in Jacuzzi tub bubbles.”
A smattering of chuckles came from the audience. He smiled at her. “I am so thankful for you in my life. I promise to love, honor, and cherish every moment we have together. My life is better with you in it. I look forward to spending every morning and every evening with you.”
Her turn. She cleared her throat. “Austin, words cannot express how lucky I am to have met you. I was lost in a world of pain, and you threw me a lifeboat. You saved me, literally. You are my hero. I’d be lost without you. I’m so lucky to get to spend the rest of my life loving you.”
The minister made a few more remarks and then told them it was time to kiss the bride. Austin leaned forward and brushed his lips across hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck and made the kiss more passionate. A few people hooted in the audience.
She grinned at him. This was it. They were now husband and wife. She couldn’t believe her luck. Of all the people to get stranded on an island with, Austin Scott was the perfect one. He was her savior, her knight in shining armor. He was her one, true love.
And she was looking forward to spending the rest of forever with him.

Sneak Peek: A Deception of Massive Proportion
Chapter 1
Riley adjusted her glasses as she stared over the novel she was using as a prop. The gentle sound of cascading water from the nearby fountain joined the soft music playing over the speakers to create the upscale atmosphere in the lobby. People came and went as the afternoon turned late and the busy time for checking in heightened. She couldn’t help bouncing her foot as she nervously waited for Shadow Walker to enter the Billionaire Club resort.
She was a pond sucking lowlife. A tabloid reporter. Riley had come to terms with it. It was better than her last job which was being the hotdog on times square. No, she didn’t sell hotdogs. She was the hotdog. You know those annoying people in costume who try to get you to take a picture with them? Yeah. That was her. Being a bottom feeder tabloid reporter was actually a step up from that.
But she never thought she’d find herself sitting incognito at a resort, waiting for the famous masked singer Shadow Walker to come in. Of course, if he wasn’t in costume, she wouldn’t recognize him. No one knew his true identity. But even if he wasn’t in costume, she knew exactly what his manager looked like. She’d done her homework. Jalen Carter had a very distinctive burn mark on his face making it impossible for her to miss him.
The lobby door opened but a woman entered, and Riley let out a breath. So much was riding on this. She’d taken a huge gamble to even come to Grand Cayman. She bit her
