Maria is
ready to say 'yes' to the dress!
As owner of Happy Ever After, Maria Mallory is
Westfield's resident wedding planner, spending her days making dreams come true
for future brides.
Maria even has her own perfect day planned out
too, she just needs to find the right man. So when she falls in love with local
celeb Darcy Burgess she can't believe her luck – it was finally her turn for
her Happy Ever After. Or so she thought.
Jilted at the altar, Maria can't believe that her
fairytale ending hasn't come true. She's ready to give up on love once and for
all. But little does she know that once you stop looking for it, love has a way
of surprising you…
A laugh-out-loud
romance, perfect for fans of Holly Martin and Tilly Tennant.
EXTRACT
Two hours
later, Maria found herself in Harrogate, squeezed into the red dress, heels
pinching her feet, wondering why the hell she wasn't sat on Cass's couch eating
ice cream and crying. She said the same to Cass as they walked on tottering
heels to the nearest trendy bar, Ice, in the wine bar and posh eatery part of
Harrogate's city centre, which, coincidentally, butted up against the legal
quarter of Harrogate, and no doubt the two sides kept each other in business
quite well too. Walking into Ice with Cassie, it was hard to ignore the stares
that her friend attracted. Cassie Welburn was, let's face it, sex on a twenty
nine year old stick. She was always tanned thanks to her meticulous salon
treatments, plucked and shaped to perfection, and tonight, as usual, was
dressed to kill. Even Maria's daring red dress looked tame in light of Cassie's
black and silver dress, slashed to the thigh, combined with sparkly silver
heels that make Cassie even taller than her just under six foot frame. Maria
blushed and nudged Cass's elbow with her own.
"People
are staring Cass." Cassie shrugged.
"Let them
stare, girl. Don't worry, I've got your back." Maria belatedly realised
that tonight, thanks to that ridiculous article, the stares may indeed be for
her and not her glamorous friend. She cringed inwardly, and planted a smile on
her face. She took her friend by the
arm, and pushing her boobs out and her chin up, she headed to the bar.
"Let's get smashed," she declared.

A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR
I am a writer and teacher, living in West Yorkshire with my
husband, our two sons, and our furry pets.
In July 2015, I won the Prima magazine and Mills & Boon Flirty Fiction Competition, with my entry, The Chic Boutique on Baker Street, out now in ebook and paperback. The Flower Shop on Foxley Street followed this in 2017 and both books hit the Amazon top 200. Chic Boutique got to #2 in the rural life humour chart and is regularly in the top 100 of that chart.
I am the winner of the Writers Bureau Writer of the Year Award in 2016 and I have had work published in the UK and overseas in various magazines.
My next book, The Long Walk Back, is out in January 2018 and I am currently writing the last book in the Westfield series. My first book with Manatee Books, Nice Guys Finish Lonely, is out in April 2018 in ebook and paperback. I love to write romantic fiction, both rom-com and harder hitting women's fiction.
I am also a post 16 teacher and am undertaking an MA in Creative Writing at Teesside University.

Love a good wedding story.
ReplyDeleteI got married on a dinner cruise with a few family and friends. The boat cruised around the San Diego bay.
ReplyDeleteIt really poured in the middle of the ceremony which was strange because it was a beautiful, sunny day.
