After her father's untimely death, she's determined to give her small hometown what he didn't have: a good, honest lawyer, but law school isn't cheap. When she answers a want ad that leads her to Elena's Bridal one blustery morning, she feels like she's died and gone to heaven. All of the organza, gowns, and pearls she could ever imagine -- her dream job, indeed. To complicate matters, hotshot lawyer Greg Elizondo is working at the shop, trying to keep it afloat after his mother's passing. He's kind and more handsome than Tara cares to admit, but his laser-focus on the corporate ladder makes him the wrong match for her. As they work to save the shop from its impending closing, their feelings begin to grow. But with Tara bound for the valleys of northern Pennsylvania and Greg set on New York City, all of the outside circumstances scream "NO." In the midst of juggling Bridezillas, wedding dress orders, and an upcoming gala for the shop, their attraction deepens, along with the reality that their goals are pulling them in two separate directions. No matter how Tara does the math, it doesn't add up. Can God orchestrate their desires and goals into one happy ending? Theyve helped orchestrate the perfect day for countless couples. Now twelve new couples will find themselves in the wedding spotlight in the second Year of Weddings novella collection. Greg Elizondo hadnt bargained for this. Any of this. Satin. Lace. Tulle. Pearl inlay, embroidered bodices, and Swarovski crystals. The bridal shop business it took his mother three decades to build, the enterprise that covered his university and law degrees in full, was struggling because he might be part-genius when it came to contract law . . . But corset-style gowns with a mermaid flair? Shoot me now. Tara Simonetti hated law school, but loved the community grant funding her presence at Temple Universitys esteemed school of law. She could not fail. Would not fail. But when a notice for bridal store help appeared on the community notice board, Tara applied for the job immediately. While grants and loans helped pave her way, money for food was scarce. Legal precedence, moot court, and judicial clerking all had their place, but they were nothing compared to Alcenon lace, tucked silk skirts, and a well-placed peplum. Greg had grabbed her help as the act of a desperate man. Within weeks, he was desperate again, this time to win her heart. But after using community funds to get her degree, how can Tara turn her back on the people who helped finance her goal? But if she leaves Philadelphia and Greg to return to her small-town in northern Pennsylvania, shell be leaving her heart behind. A heart he won, fair and square by posting a help wanted notice on the coffee shop board . . . A heart that filled the missing niche in his mothers acclaimed bridal store. A heart Greg longed to cherish forevermore.
