CALL OF THE WILDER

Gemini Wilder's boyfriend just popped the question, and she's screwed. She dearly loves her sweetie and would like nothing more than to settle down with him, but she's a Wilder. Wilders don't do marriage. They'll do adultery, pornography, and identical twins, yes, but not "till death do us part."

It's not just the family history making her panic. Gem's first marriage ended after three days when her new husband won an All-Elvis Tribute contest and shared his secret dreams of singing. Gem was a music major, the daughter of a nationally-successful folk trio, yet his confession freaked her out and sent her flying. Thirteen years later, she still can't explain why his words sent her into a panic. All she knows is it was visceral, it blocked out all options but flight, and it was undeniable.

Now that she has the chance to marry again, all those feelings are coming back. So is the rebellious internal soundtrack that led her astray in the past. Just when she thinks things can't get worse, a family funeral calls her to Vegas. Vegas, with her mother who can't stop insisting that Gem should still be singing. Vegas, home of Gem's ex-husband, who's living out his dream and wants Gem back for the ride. Vegas – the city where Gemini Wilder will learn that before she can be true to anyone else, she must first be true to herself.
