Overview
High society wedding planner Lauren Remington is determined to prove her family wrong and make a success of her business, but a last minute disaster brings a glorious end to all her grand plans. Desperate for help, her only hope is Max Wilde, a man whose rugged, leather-clad body is almost as dangerous as his sleek black Harley. Max may be everything Lauren's mother warned her about, but desperate times call for desperate measures...providing she can convince him to take the job.
Max isn't sure why he agreed to help save Lauren's shapely derriere, especially when one tilt of her blue-blooded nose is enough to get his back up. There's just something about the way Lauren's curvy body snuggles up against his that feels right, and he'd kill to see her out of her Chanel suit and into tight red leather. And he has to admire the way she doesn't shy away from his foster kids and their rough-and-tumble friends. Still, Max knows that his wrong-side-of-the-tracks background could never fit in Lauren's high society world...but somewhere deep behind the lady lies a woman born to be wild.

Lauren and Max feel an attraction between them reminiscent of a kiss they exchanged at her own first wedding years ago. Will Lauren and Max steel their hearts to bury their feelings or take the risk of seeking love out? Born To Be Wild is a droll contemporary romance that leaves the audience smiling and fond of the lead characters. Lauren's asides add mirth yet seriousness to a warm plot.

Humor packed inside a romance is a Patti Berg specialty and her latest will leave her audience exit laughing but fulfilled.
