      “Eric, what are you not telling me? You keep saying I should trust you, but—”

      “I saw Shawn today, Jamie.”

      The front tire of her bicycle wobbled dangerously. Jamie had to focus on the road ahead for a few minutes before she was able to talk again.

      “I’m listening,” she said.

      “He showed up at my office, wanted to talk about…things. I thought it was the right opportunity to make Shawn really take notice. You remember how we talked about turning up the heat—”

      “Eric, are you going to tell me what’s going on or not?”

      “Well… I just happened to mention to Shawn that…you and I are engaged.”

      “You what?!”

      Dear Reader,

      I’m somewhat of an expert on prewedding jitters. Cold feet preventing me from walking down the aisle, I balked on my wedding date not once, but twice—causing my future mother-in-law to throw up her hands in despair. But then I looked into my fiancé’s eyes and reaffirmed what I’d known, deep down, all along: he truly was the perfect man for me, and we would have a wonderful life together navigating all the unknowns ahead. On a beautiful spring day I finally exchanged vows with him, and it’s a decision I’ve never once regretted.

      I’ve always wondered, though, what happens when regrets do get the better of “happily ever after.” For example, when the groom changes his mind and ditches his bride, right at the altar…what’s the bride to do? I had a great deal of fun exploring that question in The Goodbye Groom. After Jamie Williams is left holding the bridal bouquet, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Along comes Eric Sinclair, the groom’s sexy brother….

      I hope you enjoy reading Jamie and Eric’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

      He’ll be here.

      If she just kept repeating those words, they would be true. They had to be true.

      Behind her, she heard scraps of whispers.

      “…minister wants to know…”

      “Should the organist play that again…?”

      “Hasn’t someone called him…?”
