"Gracie Holland can plan the perfect Happily Ever After-unless it's her own. After a soul-flattening breakup, she has rebuilt her life planning weddings at Larkwood-an ivy-covered estate where she also lives. But when her beloved boss passes away, Gracie suddenly finds herself pitted against a love-allergic divorce lawyer who is determined to sell both her place of work, and her home.
Jude Larkwood cleans up romantic disasters for a living, so he has no intention of keeping Larkwood as a wedding venue, but there's just one problem: his Nana may have left Jude the estate, but she's left the guest cottage to the maddeningly romantic wedding planner, who has somehow turned his mind into her permanent residence.
So, when Gracie proposes that he help her plan her ex's shotgun wedding to prove Larkwood is worth saving, he agrees, but if she fails to convince him by the big day, she'll sell him her cottage. As bickering and cake tastings turn into late-night confessions, Gracie and Jude find themselves breaking every vow not to fall for each other...
READERS LOVE NOT THAT KIND OF PROPOSAL
'This book was everything I adore in a romance!'
'I was laughing, swooning, giggling and kicking my feet.'
'If I could erase my mind and read this book again, I would.'
'One of my newest favourite romance reads.'"
"Popular romance author Margot Bradley has a secret: she doesn't believe in Happily Ever Afters. Not for herself, not for her readers, not even for her characters. When a super-fan leaks this to the world, Margot is dropped faster than you can say 'enemies-to-lovers.'
Her sister thinks she needs a change of scene and sends Margot off to a remote Alaskan cabin on a writing retreat that could be the perfect chance to say goodbye to romcoms and write something new - maybe swap meet-cutes for murder mysteries? But then she meets the handsome owner, Forrest:
She's a city girl; he's a lumberjack - of course he is.
He's grumpy - wait, is she sunshine? Oh no.
At least there's no forced proximity.
But that snowstorm is heading straight for their cabin...
As one trope after another draws them together over long snowy nights, one thing is clear: Margot and Forrest have landed in a romance novel of their very own. But will they each be able to overcome their fears, or risk becoming another of Margot's Happily Never Afters themselves...
