Delaney McBride never thought she'd ever go home to
Wisconsin. She thought she'd finally escaped
being "Pumpkin" McBride. Then her aunt passed away and
she had to go back. She had to help complete the
conditions of her aunt's totally crazy and unconventional
will. You see, Delaney is just one of several people in
her hometown that stand to inherit once the conditions of
the will are met. The catch is that each of them have
been given a task to complete by a certain date, and if
everyone doesn't complete their task, no one gets
anything, and the entire estate will go to Delaney's
uncle. The tasks range from the restoration of an old car
to Delaney's own task, of completing the planning on the
three remaining wedding's that her aunt had started prior
to her death. Ordinarily, Delaney wouldn't even consider
it, but she just her job and her savings are about gone.
She has no other choice, but to go home to Wisconsin, face
her childhood, and earn her inheritance.
Mike Connery knows that it's a stretch. It's not going to
be easy keeping "Pumpkin" McBride around long enough to
complete the terms of the will; but he doesn't have a
choice. He has to keep her around for his daughter, for
his town, for his friends, and for himself. He had no
idea when "Pumpkin" came back that she'd have grown from
the chubby little redhead next door to being the drop dead
gorgeous woman that had actually shown up.
Delaney has multiple problems being back at home. Mike
Connery being number one on that list. She'd had feelings
for Mike for as long as she could remember, and as much as
she'd like to deny it, they all came rushing back as soon
as she laid eyes on him again. Among her other problems
are the complete lack of knowledge and experience planning
weddings; not to mention the fact that she didn't fall in
line with the whole "Happily Ever After" thing. She
learned a long time ago that there's no such thing as
Prince Charming and she sure as heck wasn't Cinderella.
As time passes and each of them make progress on their
individual tasks it becomes clear that someone doesn't
want them to succeed; and that someone is sabotaging
Delaney's weddings. It's just been sheer luck that she's
been able to divert disaster. So when an opportunity
presents itself and she has a way out of this whole
inheritance thing, she has a choice to make. Follow
through with what she promised to do, and possibly find
out who's been trying to cause her failure, or move on and
go back to what she thinks she wants.
THE WEDDING HEIRESS is an easy read that has every element
that you could want in a good romance. It has the
intrigue that make you wonder who could be sabotaging
Delaney, her unrequited childhood love for Mike, and the
possibility of a new love with the very same man.
Everything you could possibly want for a cold winter
weekend curled up on the couch. Enjoy!
Who'd have thought that Delaney McBride would come back to
her Wisconsin hometown—where Mike Connery still lives!—to
plan weddings? Not Delaney, the upwardly mobile career
woman who doesn't believe in storybook endings. Certainly
not Delaney, the insecure teenager who never got over her
girlhood crush on Mike.
If it weren't for her inheritance, Delaney would be so out
of there, as far away from the irresistible-as-ever man as
she could get. But it's either take over her great-aunt's
wedding-planning business or lose everything. So here she
is, creating happy endings for real-life Cinderellas while
still secretly pining for Mike. At the rate she's going,
Delaney's heading straight for happily never after. Unless—
is it possible?—the single father is just as secretly
pining for her.…
