As the organizing front-woman of Vows, the wedding planning company she founded with her three best friends, Parker Brown understands the importance of planning, of remaining cool, calm and collected in all situations. She has managed her own life much as she manages Vows and is comfortable in what she has created, until Malcolm Kavanaugh roars into her life. A former stuntman now a mechanic, Malcolm has a fascination with how things work, and nothing fascinates him more than figuring out what makes Parker tick.

Parker's partners, Mac, Laurel and Emma, each in the process of planning their own weddings, think Parker is nuts to ignore Mal's obvious attraction. Even Mrs. Grady has a soft spot for him! Sheer persistence on Mal's part has Parker agreeing to go out with him. With the approval of her brother and his mother, their relationship moves from fun and flirtatious to potentially serious. Parker has always kept a level head when it comes to business and relationships, but this time she's going to have to follow her heart.

Relationships are the focus of this story: lovers, best friends, family; and no one writes them better than Ms Roberts. HAPPY EVER AFTER is the icing on the cake of the Bride Quartet.
