Happy Is The Bride

By Caroline Clemmons and Vanessa Montalban

Three failed engagements. One daring proposal. Can friendship turn into a love that conquers all?

Beth Pendleton is weary of the gossip and hurtful labels that have followed her after three broken engagements-each arranged by her controlling father. Despite her reputation, Beth is a devoted member of her community, always ready to help those in need. Tired of trying to please her critical parents and spurred on by her spiteful cousin, Beth decides to take her future into her own hands. She boldly proposes marriage to Mason Whittaker, her lifelong friend and steadfast champion.

Mason has always loved Beth, but never dreamed he'd have the chance to marry her. Carrying on his family's ranching tradition, Mason is surrounded by love and support-so different from Beth's chilly home life. Her proposal astonishes and delights him, but he can't help but wonder: is Beth marrying him for love, or just to escape her parents and a foolish bet with her cousin?

As their wedding day approaches, Beth and Mason must face meddling relatives, small-town gossip, and a series of unexpected mishaps. Will their friendship blossom into true love, or will outside forces keep them from their happily ever after?

Perfect for readers who love sweet western romance, friends to lovers romance, small town love stories, marriage of convenience romance, Texas ranch romance, second chance at love, and uplifting historical romance.
