Order your deluxe trade paperback edition with gorgeous sprayed edges, available for a limited time.

Secrets, lies, and betrayals fly faster than a tossed bouquet when two sets of mothers and daughters visit a wedding venue from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery.

When Shannon gets engaged, her beloved mom, Cindy, is the first person she wants to tell—and the last. Cindy’s engaged, too, and has already hinted at a double wedding. The image of a synchronized bouquet toss with her mom fills Shannon with horror. She’ll keep her engagement a secret until Cindy’s I-dos are done.

Victoria has never been proper enough for her mother, Ava, so she stopped trying. She lives on her own terms and amuses herself by pushing Ava’s buttons. Ava loves but doesn’t understand her stuntwoman daughter. When a movie-set mishap brings Victoria home, Ava longs to finally connect.

Chance brings the four women together at a wedding venue, where a shocking secret comes tumbling out. Twenty-four years ago, desperate teenager Cindy chose wealthy Ava to adopt her baby—then changed her mind at the very last second. The loss rocked Ava’s world, leaving her unable to open her heart to the daughter she did adopt, Victoria. As Shannon and Victoria deal with the fallout from the decisions their mothers made, they wrestle with whether who they are is different than who they might have become.

A FAN-FAVORITE SMALL-TOWN ROMANCE SERIES

If you loved the Fool’s Gold, Happily Inc, and Wishing Tree series, you should know about the small-town romance series that I wrote first: the Hometown Heartbreakers series, with strong women, sexy guys, and all the humor and heart you adore.

Harlequin is bringing back the Hometown Hearbreakers romances with bright, colorful new covers to catch the eye of today’s readers. As always, when you see a “new” book from me, check my website first because I will always tell you very clearly whether a book is new or a reissue. Book 1 is out now!

Reissue of The Best Bride

Single mom Elizabeth Abbot has endured enough heartbreak at the hands of her deceitful ex-husband to last a lifetime. Determined to make a fresh start, she moves to the small town of Glenwood, but when she unexpectedly needs medical help for her daughter, Travis Haynes comes to their rescue. Elizabeth is captivated by the town sheriff, with his trademark Stetson and charming smile, but she is not sure she can ever trust her heart to a man again—and he is not sure he has what it takes to become a family man. Can they let go of their past for a second chance at true happiness?
