Book Excerpt

The realization of having a mere seventeen days to plan

one wedding and tie up loose ends with hers—without

the much-needed help of her fiancé or anyone else—weighed

heavy on Mandie’s shoulders. Her notes were a sopping mess.

Awesome.

She chewed on her bottom lip. Maybe they should

reschedule their wedding for February. Or spring. Or

summer. June is nice. She sank to the floor, wishing she had a

chair, wincing at the thought of moving her wedding.

Christmas music playing from her cell phone didn’t help

relieve her frustration over her drenched notes. Hudson

eased down beside her with a piece of the chocolate cake

Mandie had made him that morning. “How can I help you?”

He took a bite.

“Besides staying here and not flying to Seattle?”
