The Silver Linings Wedding Dress Auction
Six unworn dresses. A closet full of "Almosts." One chance to find "The One."
Leslie Westcott was supposed to have her "happily ever after" years ago. But when a sudden tragedy strikes just two weeks before her wedding, she is left standing alone with a heart full of grief and a wardrobe full of broken promises.
In the years that follow, Leslie becomes an expert at the engagement but a failure at the wedding. From a fake diamond to a cloudy emerald, she collects proposals like she collects white lace, accepting a string of "Mr. Almost Rights" while secretly fearing she’ll never find the love she lost. She changes who she is for every new relationship, always stopping herself just before the "I do"—until her closet is overflowing with six unworn wedding dresses.
When her aunt suggests a charity auction to benefit a local women’s shelter, Leslie is forced to confront the ghosts of her past. As she relives each failed romance, she must decide which dresses to cast away and which memories are worth keeping. But as the auction draws near, Leslie begins to realize that her true love might not be found in a new proposal, but in the one person who has been standing by her side all along.
Sisters Before Misters
Betrayal is a family affair.
Rachael Wilkins has her life perfectly mapped out. She has a thriving business, the “Twin Cups” coffee cottage, which she runs with her twin sister, Riley. Even better, she’s finally at the altar, ready to marry her high school sweetheart, Lt. Derrick Ryan, following his return from overseas.
But the "happily ever after" vanishes in a single, heart-stopping moment.
In front of a room full of guests, Derrick delivers the ultimate blow: he cannot marry Rachael because he is in love with her sister. The betrayal goes deeper when Riley admits to the secret affair and promptly fires Rachael from their family business, leaving her with no home, no job, and a shattered heart.
How do you rebuild when the person who shares your face is the one who stole your future?
For Rachael, the road to recovery starts with an unexpected hand from new friends, Trudel and Caroline Sauveterre. Swapping coffee beans for gemstones, Rachael finds herself immersed in the high-stakes world of Sauveterre Jewelers. There, she discovers a hidden talent for gemology and meets Toby Sauveterre—a man whose kindness and brilliance make her realize that the wedding-day disaster might have been the greatest blessing of her life.
Sisters Before Misters is a gripping, emotional journey of resilience and self-discovery. It’s a story about finding the courage to walk away from a toxic past and the strength to realize that sometimes, the "silver lining" is a life far more beautiful than the one you originally planned.
Discover if Rachael can truly move from heartbreak to high-end diamonds in this must-read tale of second chances.
