Her latest mission is to locate the multimillion-dollar Sword of Alexander, believed to be in the possession of master thief Sir Liam James.

This is Jen's shining moment, her wedding day, and all she can think about are her blueberry stained teeth, her crazy soon-to-be-divorced parents, and her missing shoe. What's really on her mind, though, is the book that the pastor gave Will Your Marriage Last? And now she's just not so sure. She survives the wedding, but can't even get through the honeymoon. Totally losing it, she asks her husband (of only one day) for a divorce. Going to divorce court is ugly-but with these fresh wounds and new insight on what marriage is and actually was, she's growing closer to her love than ever before. Will it take losing her husband-and mind-to show her what she always had?
