      Dear Reader,

      The Wedding Challenge is the third book in the MATCHMAKER series and was probably the most fun to write. (And, yes, there are books that, no matter how much I love them, are not fun while I’m writing them.)

      However, this book was like telling a story about old friends, since I’ve written about Callie and her brother and Francesca in the first two books. Callie is a little younger than most of my heroines, and I enjoyed presenting her youthful enthusiasm and joie de vivre. And even though it’s set long ago and far away, with customs and manners that are years removed from us, I think that the challenges Callie faces will be something that most of us women can relate to.

      So choose your favorite reading place and settle down for a few hours with some good friends. Happy reading!

      Best wishes,

      Candace Camp

      For Leslie Wainger, editor extraordinaire,

       for her wisdom and her talent for sharing it.
