ABOUT THE BOOK
A fun road trip romance to the Grand Tetons!
Always the wedding planner, never the bride.
Hope Rodriguez loves planning weddings. There’s nothing more special than helping a bride become a princess for a day, but she’s not sure that’s her calling in life anymore. If only she had her own special someone. Her only current prospect leaves her with more questions than answers about where she falls in his list of priorities. Yet, when a lifelong friend asks her to plan a destination wedding across the country in only two weeks, she’ll have to figure out how to pull off the impossible…alone.
After being burned as a child and deserted by his family, Caleb Donnelly has an intimate relationship with pain. Despite all he’s endured, one ache refuses to leave him—the throbbing in his heart where Hope is concerned. So when Hope needs help with their friend’s wedding, he can’t stop himself from volunteering to travel two thousand miles to Jackson, Wyoming. As long as he keeps his feelings in check, he might not ruin their friendship. Because a beautiful woman like Hope could never love a scarred man like him.
When Hope and Caleb’s plans go up in flames, it’s their hearts that might never recover.

EXCERPT
Always the wedding planner, never the bride.
A familiar ache lodged in Hope’s core. Which was ridiculous. She loved arranging weddings—had been assisting with her mother’s event planning business most of her life. There was nothing more special than helping a bride become a princess for a day.
If only Michael had been able to take the weekend off and come to Florida with her, she’d have felt a little less…single. A little less alone.
She and Michael had been seeing each other for a few months now, and they’d gotten close. He was fun, affectionate, and so very attractive. She had feelings for him. She enjoyed kissing him. Okay, she relished kissing him. A lot. But she wasn’t quite certain where she ranked on his priority list. It seemed to her like a distant third behind his work, family, and a few other hobbies. In all fairness, this wedding had been short notice.
But not as short notice as Andrew’s.
He still stood there, that quirky look on his face while he prattled on to Caleb about why his fiancée had chosen Wyoming for their wedding. Something about loving nature and having vacationed there with her family as a child. But why in two weeks? Had they even applied for a marriage license? Found a venue? A caterer?
