WEDDING BELL BLUES, Piper Cove Chronicles #1

By Linda Windsor

Description:

Alex Butler is a successful home decorator who hopes she has finally gotten her life together. But when Josh Turner, the man who ran away and broke her heart sixteen years ago, returns to Piper Cove to be the best man in her sister's wedding, Alex can't escape the butterflies in her stomach. But Alex has no time for distractions. Her family has enlisted her to make this the wedding of the century. To pull the event off, she pools the talents of her three best friends - Jan, who creates desserts to-die-for will help with the cake and catering, tomboy Ellen, who works at a landscaping business will handle the flowers and decorations, and Sue Ann, who can…well, Suzie Q can give Alex a much-needed reality check in the course of the wedding planning chaos.

But fate won't be stopped in this small town as Alex and Josh keep running into each other at every turn. When sparks fly, Alex soon finds herself caught in a paralyzing battle of the heart between her old-fashioned Southern father, who fiercely resents Josh for breaking his little girl's heart, and her feelings for the one man she ever truly loved.

As the wedding approaches, the Butler family faces a threat to their reputation that will shake this Chesapeake clan to their very core. In the midst of it all, can Alex and Josh resist the many forces that seem to be drawing them together?

Book Takeaway:

This is another feel good book, where love and spirit come together to leave the heart and soul uplifted. Life and love isn't always easy. We can't always be in control, but we can have God and girlfriends to get us through.

Why the author wrote this book:

My editor wanted a series centered around a sisterhood and I began to think of my assorted friends, the crazy bond we have in fair weather or foul. How different we are, yet we are one in friendship. So I set this book on my Eastern Shore of MD around the favorite haunts of my own sisterhood. I'm probably a little bit of each one of the four women in this group. My late husband always teased there was something of me in all my heroines. Bless him...I think <g>.
