My Sweet Saga opens with Brandon arrested and on a plane with a police escort, in a lot of pain and bleeding. He takes us back to how he got to be in this situation…
Brandon is trapped in an engagement he doesn't want, to the controlling and neurotic Clarissa, with in-laws who can't stand him, an MIA mother and a wealthy joke of a father who hasn't called in months. But Brandon is quite content being miserable. That is until his father calls out of the blue and casually requests his presence at a dinner in Sweden. He's lost a bet with a man from Sweden and must now treat him to dinner in his home country. For reasons unknown to Brandon, the man has requested his presence. All Brandon has to do is show up. Unfortunately for his dad, Brandon doesn't have a great relationship with his father and has absolutely no desire to accompany him half-way across the world for dinner… until he mentions the idea to fiancée Clarissa. Clarissa is horrified that Brandon would even contemplate flying off to Sweden so soon before the wedding and forbids him – yes forbids him. You can imagine what he does next…
