Rachel Holley has always dreamed of a weddingâthe white dress, the fairy tale, and of course, the happily-ever-after. But when her fiancĂŠ breaks it off the night before, claiming she doesnât love him, Rachelâs fairy tale ends in ashes.
Homeless, hopeless, and feeling like her life has been completely derailed, Rachel must start over in all sorts of waysâand hold her head up high in the fishbowl of her tiny village. The last person she expects to become a friend is Sam West, the charismatic owner of The Bell, Thornthwaiteâs rougher pub, and a little rough around the edges of himself.
But as Rachel gets to know Sam, and sees him caring for his orphaned nephew, she finds herself drawn to this enigmatic and surprisingly charming man. Nothing about Sam is what Rachel expected in a life partner, and yet she canât deny their increasing closeness. But can love flourish on the rebound? And will there be a vicarage wedding after all?
