USA Today bestsellerIt's Christmas in Twilight, Texas. The Cookie Club is baking, the town is decorated, and Delta Force Operator "Hutch" Hutchinson has finally, reluctantly, returned home . . .
. . . only to get pepper sprayed by the delicious- looking stranger who's taken over his house. She says her name is Jane, and she immediately sets down ground rules. Top priority: no touching. For Hutch that isn't easy—he was wounded in action, but one part is still working very well.
Then Hutch learns the truth. Jane harbors a frightening secret—she's really Meredith Sommers, on the run from a dangerous ex-husband and desperately in need of the safety Hutch can provide. In that moment, he vows he'd do anything in his power to protect her. And as Christmas approaches, they discover that their love can conquer the past and overcome any obstacle—but what price will they pay?
“VERDICT: PTSD, mental illness, abusive violence, and killer cops are not your average holiday fare. Yet tempered with love, a caring community, a dash of suspense, and the romantic delight of a Twilight Christmas, this engaging story brims with strength and hope—definitely one to savor. —Library Journal

Legend claims an antique Irish wedding veil can grant your heart’s deepest desire. The moment Texas socialite Delaney Cartwright touches her veil, she envisions a stranger’s dark eyes and irresistible lips. But she can’t simply call it off. This wedding to her nice, predictable childhood friend is the social event of the season (not to mention her mother would freak). So she hatches an escape plan: she’ll hire her own kidnapper. How hard could it be? After all, she already had a practice run when she abducted her fiancé for a night of romance. Okay, so she accidentally grabbed the wrong man. It wasn’t her fault Detective Nick Vinetti with the sizzling and oddly familiar eyes had crossed her path—and looked game for all kinds of sexy fun. Now, with an altar to avoid and a cop to dream on, this runaway bride is feeling for real—and hoping a little Irish magic will unveil the true destiny of her heart.
"This is a dynamite novel that readers will treasure for years to come. Wilde blends paranormal and mild chick lit elements, great humor and some suspense with wonderfully developed characters. Readers can really relate to them and will find themselves easily swept into this combination ofRunaway Bride, Sex and the City and magic."—Romantic Times, 4 1/2 Stars
“This was a fun, sweet romance. The plot kept moving and the characters were interesting and likeable. There Goes The Bride is the first in a series. I’m looking forward to the second installment due out in 2008. If you believe in “magic”, you’ll enjoy this book.” 5 stars—Armchair Interviews
