==BOOK DESCRIPTION==

As the designer for an opulent gothic wedding, Remy Davies is under pressure. There's the over-stressed bride, a trinity of vampire-obsessed bridesmaids, a wayward groom, and then there's the best man... Silk looks as if he was drawn by a [http://lightcoupon.com/?p=25 fleshjack coupon] manga artist; beautiful, exotic, and with a predatory sexuality. She has to have him, in her bed, and between the pages of her new catalogue. Remy is about to launch herself into the alternative fashion world, and Silk is going sell it for her whether he know it or not. But Silk is nobody's toy, and for all his androgyny, he's determinedly heterosexual. Pity, since Remy's biggest fantasy is to see him making out with her sometime-boyfriend, Japanese biker, Takeshi.
