Beth Kozera promised her best friend, Carrie Hansen, she would stay and manage Celebration House in Carrieās absence. How she regrets that promise! She has no idea how to run an event venue. Since when did brides become so demanding and grooms so lecherous? Plus, she canāt boil water, let alone supervise a sit-down dinner for two hundred guests every weekend! Thank goodness for Joshuaāor, at least, she thinks. But when Beth offers his mom a job overseeing the kitchen, Josh shows his patriarchal colorsāso much for tall, dark, and haughty. Could Bethās life get more complicated? Apparently so. Her former fiancĆ© wants her back, convinced if he can restart his romance with her, he can somehow mend his life. But all she wants is to keep her promise to Carrie.
