Always A Bridesmaid

A corporate lawyer. A small-town veterinarian. One fake engagement that's about to get very real.

Samantha Ryan bills three hundred dollars an hour, lives in an Atlanta high-rise, and hasn't taken a vacation in years. Now she's spending six weeks in Whiskey Ridge as her sister's maid of honor, dodging a hyperactive Boxer who keeps eating the tomato plants and a local vet who thinks she needs fewer emails and more fresh air.

Tucker Ellison left the DC rat race to build a quieter life in the mountains. He's got a thriving veterinary practice, a house he's building with his own hands, and absolutely no interest in getting tangled up with another woman who loves her career more than anything else.

Then Samantha's ex-fiancé shows up at the wedding with his new girlfriend. Samantha panics. A lie comes out. And Tucker, former high school theater club president, decides to play the role of her fake fiancé with a little too much enthusiasm.

Cracked ribs from a deck staircase. Doughnuts at midnight. A canoe that floats away while they're not paying attention. And a fake engagement that stops feeling fake long before either of them is ready to admit it.

She doesn't do small towns. He doesn't do city girls.

Falling for the lie they're both telling

Welcome to Whiskey Ridge — where a little white lie can turn into the truest thing you've ever said.
