Every book has inspiration and for this one it was tablecloths. Yes. That’s
right. Those things that your grandmother probably insisted on putting out even
if it was just for a cup of tea. And knowing your grandmother she ironed them
too! Anyway, over the years I have developed quite an obsession for vintage
tablecloths, to the point where I had a market stall of them. And every time
someone walked into my small stall they would undoubtedly say, ‘this reminds me
of…’ I also discovered that many of the people who bought them from me were
doing so for vintage weddings or bridal showers. And, like all good authors,
that got me thinking!
Of course there’s more to a book than just a tablecloth (though wow, how easy
would me life be if that’s all it took!). But the idea of a dresser full of
beautifully pressed linen stayed with me as I created Sisters of Wishing Bridge
Farm. A series about one sister who starts a vintage wedding planning
business using her Great Aunt Ivy’s old collection of treasures. Originally her
plan is stop her two jet setting sisters from selling the farm she loves, but as
each sister comes home to the farm, they all end up joining the business and
letting the wishing bridge work its magic.
The series starts with FALLING FOR THE BEST MAN
and sees Emmy Watson dealing with the fussiest bride in the history of fussiest
brides, while trying to cope with the fact that the best man, Christopher
Henderson is the one guy she hoped never to see again.
Sisters of
Wishing Bridge Farm
What's worse than running into your ex-hookup at the airport? When said
'hookup" is the best man for the most important wedding of your career, and he's
on the hunt for a fake girlfriend. Between a hysterical bride and a wedding
party gone wild, wedding planner Emmy Watson can’t afford any more disasters if
she wants to save her beloved Wishing Bridge Farm. Which is why she puts the
best man on lockdown. Unfortunately, he also happens to be the one guy who can
make her forget everything except the way his kisses make her feel.
All Christopher Henderson needs is a fake girlfriend to convince his bosses that
his bad boy reputation is a thing of the past so he can land his dream job. What
better place to find said companion than at a wholesome vintage wedding. The
only thing he didn't count on was seeing Emmy, the woman who dumped him. The one
he hasn’t been able to get off his mind.
There's no denying the spark between them, but he’s a globetrotter and she’s a
homebody, and falling in love is something neither of them has in their plans.
