Women's Fiction Contemporary | Small Town

An emotional and witty story of love, forgiveness, and second chances as the race to the wedding day begins…

It’s been years since Dr. Imani Kemp has returned home to Peachtree Cove, Georgia.  As Tallahassee’s most sought-after OB-GYN, she doesn’t have much time for anything else. But when her mom announces she’s marrying a man she just met on a dating app, Imani knows she has to put a stop to it immediately.  Let her mom be hurt again after the disastrous way her last marriage ended?  Absolutely not. Always her protector, Imani won’t rest until her mom sees reason.  She just never expected sparks to fly with the groom’s son...     

After his mother’s tragic death, Cyril Dash and his father relocated to Peachtree Cove to escape the gossip and speculation. Now, in this quirky small town, they’ve made a new life for themselves, and after years of grief, his dad has finally found happiness again.  And Cyril refuses to let Imani threaten that.  The more determined he is to prove the strength of his dad's love, the more drawn he is to this beautiful, complicated woman who's determined to call off the wedding.

But when Cyril’s heartbreaking past comes to light, destiny won’t be denied.  Because the secret to this southern wedding is you never know how far you'll go in the name of love.
