Massachusetts - Present Day

As maid-of-honor for her sister, Dette’s somewhat rushed wedding, Lara Sinclair has been helping to coordinate things with the best man.  Not that this has been a hardship, Lara finds Cal to be funny, intelligent, charming, and very possibly exactly what she’s looking for in a man.  So far, they’ve only talked through the internet, and Lara’s very excited to meet Cal face-to-face.  Then, disaster strikes, thanks to Dette.  A month earlier, Dette flew to Las Vegas after a fight with her fiancé, and slept with a stranger, not knowing he was one of the groomsmen.  Since Dette and Lara look so much alike, Dette begs Lara to pretend that Lara was the one in Vegas.  Lara, who has bailed Dette out of disastrous situations before, agrees, figureing that because she’ll be spending all of her time with Cal it won’t be a problem.  But then Cal turns out to be Dette’s one-night stand.

Caleb Daniels had been looking forward to the wedding festivities and meeting Lara, right up until he recognizes the bride from his miserable weekend in Vegas.  He’d been trying to get over his fiancée’s betrayal and made the mistake of sleeping with “Eve”.  Now he’ll have to break the news to his friend, Adam, that Adam’s bride-to-be cheated on him.  Before he has a chance though, a nearly identical woman arrives and admits that she was Eve.  Things only get worse when he realizes that the second woman is Lara.  How can the wonderful woman he’s been getting to know over the internet and the woman he shared the worst one-night stand in history with be one and the same?  And how can he still find her attractive?

Lara’s dreams of romance turn into a nightmare in NOTHING STAYS IN VEGAS.  Even believing him to be the kind of person who has one night stands doesn’t change the way she feels though, and Lara can’t help but wonder what would happen if she weren’t lying to Cal.  While Cal is over his ex-fiancée, he’s still hurt by the betrayal, and confused by how Lara can seem like two different people.  After spending a bit more time together, they agree that what happened in Vegas should stay there, but will it?
