pain of a childhood tragedy with a gift for bringing out the beauty
in others. Despite her prestigious partnerships and clients, Ginger

"beauty-maker" for the Alabama society wedding of the decade. Then
her high-school crush Tom Wells Jr. also returns to town and asks

his best friend's wedding has brought Josh back to Martinsburg,
Texas. His duties as best man and Holly's as the church's volunteer
wedding coordinator link them together. She never told him the true
reason for their breakup all those years ago, but it's hard to keep
the secret as feelings reemerge. And with those feelings comes the
fear that held her back the last time. Not a day's gone by since
Josh parted from Holly that he hasn't thought about her. He doesn't
want to make himself vulnerable to her again, but the more time he
spends with her, the harder it is to deny the love he still has for
her. As the wedding approaches, both Holly and Josh will have to
decide if they want to risk everything for love. An October Bride

engaged-again-this time to her lifelong buddy Jake Sawyer, every
busybody in town is talking about it. Of course, no one but Jake
and Emma know the real reason they're getting married: so Emma's
dying father will have a chance to walk her down the aisle. But
while Jake and Emma move forward with their plan and frantically
organize an October wedding, it becomes clear that their agreement
has a few complications-the biggest being their true feelings for
each other. With dubious friends, ecstatic parents, and nosy
neighbors, Emma and Jake have a lot to contend with if they're
going to pull this off. The real question is who wants this wedding
more, Emma's dad or Emma?
They've helped orchestrate the perfect day for countless couples.

the dream. And if it is, will Nate still be interested when he
learns who she is? Love in the Details: A November Wedding Story by

smalltown world. Will Josh and Holly be able to keep things as they
are when their true feelings threaten to surface at every turn?

the event, Autumn is stirred to life again by twelve months of
letters from eleven-year-old Mia Elliot, a hurting daughter trying
to make sense of losing her mother in the tragedy. Autumn wants to
see healing for Mia, and she wants to bring attention to all the
victims, to bring their stories to life and for people to remember
their legacies. James Elliot worries his daughter is slipping away,
obsessed with her mother and a reclusive, damaged stranger. He just
wants to move on, to keep the secrets of that day on the tracks
buried and rebuild what's left of his family. Autumn's sudden
interest in telling ghost stories can only cause trouble for the
Elliots. Yet she is the only one who can reach Mia. Can they help
each other and find healing for the deep wounds of heartache and
betrayal?
