About Beach Wedding Weekend:
You’re invited to a sunny beach town
for a witty, heartwarming romance.
When Brody broke up with Paige and went to Europe, he suggested that someday, they’d pick up right where they left off. A hopeless romantic, she believed him.
But when they meet again, Brody’s dating a gorgeous actress.
They’re all going to attend the same wedding, and Paige plans to win Brody back. She even enlists her best friend’s brother, Aiden, to pretend to date her and make her ex jealous. A breezy, charming restaurant owner, Aiden actually avoids serious relationships, but as a fake boyfriend, he’s perfect.
As old friends and exes take part in wedding preparations and enjoy the beauty of the Florida coast, they begin to see themselves—and each other—in a new light.
This summer romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for BBQ Brisket Tacos with Sunshine Slaw.
Excerpt
Sasha let out a big sigh and curled the next section of Paige’s hair a little tighter than she had before. “When we first met in Europe, I thought we really connected. We were only together for a couple of days, but I felt like there was something there, you know?”
There was a pause as she released the pressure from the curl she was on and moved to the next strand. “Then when I found out I would be moving to the same area where he lived, I assumed it was kismet. He took me out on our first official date the same day I pulled into town.”
There was a pause, as if Sasha was considering what to say next. Or even if she should share anything else.
Do not engage, do not engage, do not engage.
While Paige could appreciate Sasha’s struggle, it wasn’t her job to help her ex-boyfriend’s new fling figure out why their relationship wasn’t working. Surely Sasha had other friends to talk this through with, didn’t she? Paige was only there to get her hair done, and all she had to do was sit still and stay quiet for just a little longer.
But apparently it didn’t matter what Paige’s brain thought was the best way to avoid an awkward conversation she felt sure she shouldn’t be a part of. Her mouth did what it wanted.
“And when you officially started dating that initial connection didn’t seem to be there anymore?”
Sasha exhaled, as if she’d been waiting to share this with someone. “No. At least not like it was in Europe. So when he asked if I wanted to come this weekend, I agreed, thinking maybe a trip to the beach would help us find our spark.”
“A beach wedding is a great place to rekindle a romance.” She should know. It had been her plan, too.
“That’s what I thought. But honestly, I didn’t factor in being here with you.”
Not sure what to do, Paige decided to play dumb. “Me?”
Sasha finally put down the curling iron and started twisting her hair up, securing it with bobby pins.
“It’s one thing being compared to the memory of you. But side by side in person? It’s been hard to measure up.”
Was she joking? This knockout beauty with the perfect figure and graceful movements was nervous about being compared to Paige?
