Just as Alix Madsen is finishing up architectural school, Adelaide Kingsley dies and wills her, for one year, the use of a charming nineteenth-century Nantucket house. The elderly woman’s relationship to the Madsen family is a mystery to the spirited Alix—fresh from a romantic breakup—but for reasons of her own Alix accepts the quirky bequest, in part because it gives her time to plan her best friend’s storybook wedding.
But unseen forces move behind the scenes, creaking Kingsley House’s ancient floorboards. It seems that Adelaide Kingsley had a rather specific task for Alix: to solve the strange disappearance of one of the Kingsley women, Valentina, more than two hundred years ago. If that wasn’t troubling enough, Alix must deal with the arrogant (and extremely good-looking) architect Jared Montgomery, who is living in the property’s guesthouse.
Unbeknown to Alix, Jared has been charged with looking after her while she lives on the island—an easy task for him, considering the undeniable chemistry between the two. But Jared harbors secrets of his own, which, if revealed, may drive a wedge between the pair.
With a glorious Nantucket wedding on the horizon, sparks fly, and the ghosts of the past begin to reveal themselves—some of them literally. Finding their lives inextricably entwined with the turbulent fortunes of their ancestors, Alix and Jared discover that only by righting the wrongs of the past can they hope to be together.

Regarding wedding planning, I have not done so for over 15 years since our daughter and I planned her wedding. But I have been asked for some ideas or suggestions from the mother's of other girls who were at our daughter's wedding and saw all of the details of our planning come together so nicely. It has been a nice compliment to have others want to replicate some of the extras that we did for the reception especially. (A harpist, a caricaturist, cakes for each table, etc.)
ReplyDeleteWedding planning and the actual wedding should be one of the happiest times of yours and your daughter's life and in our case it was fabulous and our memories live on.
Do I like planning weddings? Um...YES..secret dream of mine...I have a Pinterest board and everything...waiting and waiting and WAITING for my niece to get engaged so I can plan her wedding!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blast from the past!! I have a sister-in-law I haven't seen for years, and she LOVED Jude Deveraux. In fact, I bet she has every book she's ever written. You've reminded me that it's been way too long since I've talked to her. I think I'll give her a call over the weekend. Happy Friday to you!
ReplyDeleteMy son got married last October. I didn't do a lot of the planning but did enjoy what I did get to help with. :) I know it can be stressful to some but I think it is great.
ReplyDeleteI haven't planned weddings since my two sons were married. Thanks for this lovely giveaway. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy Jude Deveraux's work. Being from New England, I'd enjoy this series. Wedding planning is a LOT of work. :)
ReplyDeleteNantucket ~ such a lovely setting! Our middle daughters are twins and had a most lovely double wedding. One of the couples honeymooned in Nantucket (the other couple went on a cruise).
ReplyDeleteThe book series sounds inviting!
