Being ditched at the altar is the least of Lizzie Mancini's problems. Sitting in a Caribbean jail cell accused of murdering her "pretend" husband, however, is at the top of the list. After her real groom jilts her, Lizzie decides to go solo on their Belize honeymoon and meets handsome Michael Garcia, who is nursing his own heartache. To avoid the bleakness of dining and sightseeing alone, as well as questions from nosy, if well-meaning, fellow guests at the couples-only resort, the two agree to pose as newlyweds for the week--no strings (or sex) attached. The plan runs smoothly until Lizzie enjoys the attentions of the local scuba instructor and Michael's body washes ashore. Suddenly the "Mrs." is mistakenly ID'd as suspect numero uno. With the Polizia Nationale ready to close the case and cook her goose, Lizzie will have to solve the crime herself. Unexpected romance and international intrigue are center stage in Beth Orsoff's mystery caper that takes "'til death do us part" to a whole new level.

Allie Zenet has nabbed a sparkly diamond ring and the handsome studio exec fiancé that goes with it. Unfortunately that package also includes a domineering future mother-in-law and serious wedding jitters. The thirty-two-year-old Los Angeles entertainment accountant would rather elope, but fiancé Brad seems incapable of saying "no" to mommy's wedding demands. Allie wonders if anyone knows--or cares--that she is the one who's getting married. Her closest friends are too engrossed in their own messy love lives to offer any guidance, and Allie's mother's views on marriage would make a strident feminist blush. The only one who seems interested in what Allie thinks is a good- looking acquaintance by the name of Jax Montgomery. But Jax's attentions have Allie questioning just what it is she truly wants. Beth Orsoff's hilarious and heartfelt romp Disengaged is all about getting to "I do" by saying "I won't."
