Say I Do

Three bestselling authors come together in this collection of three gentle romances, each one about love, friendship, and the hope of a lasting happy ending.

Rachel Hauck opens the collection with A Brush with Love. Ginger has grown beyond a painful childhood loss into a gifted stylist who helps others shine. She has worked with respected firms and high-profile clients, yet she often feels like an observer rather than a participant. When she is asked to serve as the beauty-maker for the most anticipated society wedding in Alabama, she has to find her confidence. Then Tom Wells Jr., the boy she loved in high school, returns to town and asks her for a haircut. Ginger cannot forget how he vanished twelve years earlier and left her heartbroken, and she wonders whether she could ever trust him again.

Becky Wade's Love in the Details follows Holly, who has not seen her high school sweetheart, Josh, in eight years. His best friend's wedding brings him back to Martinsburg, Texas, where he is the best man. Holly, the church's volunteer wedding coordinator, must work alongside him. She has never told him why they split, and as old feelings resurface, so does the fear that drove her away. Josh has thought about her every day since they parted. He is wary of opening up to her again, but the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to deny the love he still feels. As the wedding approaches, both must decide whether love is worth the risk.

Katie Ganshert's An October Bride centers on Emma Tate, who has just called off an engagement. When she announces that she is engaged again, this time to her lifelong friend Jake Sawyer, the whole town starts talking. Only Jake and Emma know the real reason: Emma's dying father wants to walk her down the aisle. As they rush to plan an October wedding, their arrangement proves more complicated than expected, mainly because of their true feelings for each other. Questionable friends, delighted parents, and inquisitive neighbors make the scheme even harder to pull off. The real question is who wants the wedding more, Emma's father or Emma herself?
