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.

But when her car battery dies in the North Carolina wilderness—and the letter ends up in the river—she’s suddenly got more drama than she bargained for.

A fake fiancé. A mistletoe kiss. What could possibly go right?

Elle Peterson spends her days baking picture-perfect wedding cakes, while her own love life stays neatly boxed up and labeled “Not Now.”

But to read her late mother’s wedding letter—like her sisters did—Elle needs a fiancé.

Enter Cash Lawson—her elderly neighbor’s grandson, all charm and horsepower with a pickup that has enough chrome to blind a snowman. He’s not her type. Which makes him perfect… for pretend.

Cash agrees, eager to send a few of his stock car racing fans spinning off his track. But his fame—and a smile that could melt butter—bring complications Elle didn’t bargain for.

Now she’s juggling family expectations and falling for kisses she definitely shouldn’t add to her Christmas wish list.

The Wildflower Inn Welcomes Mr. Darcy

By Leanna Ellis

A husband was imperative for a woman of Elizabeth Bennet’s era, but not so much in the twenty-first century. However, that’s exactly what Dixie Belle Tanner believes her three daughters need—husbands. The three Tanner women have their own fortune and seem to have no need for husbands while pursuing their own interests, not their mother’s. After learning even her own father wasn’t trustworthy, LaurieBeth is content to read about the likes of Mr. Darcy rather than search for a flesh and blood variety. But when a twenty-first century Will Darcy drives into Bluebonnet Falls, Texas, in a slick convertible, he undermines her prejudice about cowboys, proving to her that real love blooms and grows outside the pages of books.
