Exciting News!
The Wedding Run, the first book in The Wedding Letter series is now up for pre-order!
A runaway bride. Her ex’s best man. What could possibly go wrong?
Wedding planner Libby Peterson has spent her career creating perfect days for other people. Now it’s her turn. The dress? Stunning. The cake? Flawless. The fiancé? Well...
But when a letter from her late mother—meant to be opened on her wedding day—makes her question everything, Libby does the unthinkable: she runs.
Straight into the arms of Luke Maine, the best man and coffee shop owner in the charming town of Storybrook, Georgia. Luke helps Libby unravel the mystery in her mother’s letter—and secretly tries to help her ex win her back. But Libby overhears their plan and hatches her own.
Flirting with Luke when he praises her ex seemed like the perfect revenge—even to her two meddling sisters. Until the only heart she’s fooling… is her own.
A sweet, closed-door romantic comedy with laugh-out-loud moments, swoony chemistry, and small-town charm.
