The Great Escape by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Excerpt:

CHAPTER ONE

"Lucy couldn’t breathe. The bodice of her wedding gown, which had fit so perfectly, now squeezed her ribs like a boa constrictor. What if she died of suffocation right here in the lobby of the Wynette Presbyterian Church?

Outside the doors, an international army of reporters stood at the barricades, and the sanctuary inside bulged with the rich and famous. Only a few steps away, the former President of the United States and her husband waited to escort Lucy down the aisle so she could marry the most perfect man in the world. The man of everyone’s dreams. The kindest, the most considerate, the smartest... What woman in her right mind wouldn’t want to marry Ted Beaudine?"
