"Perfect for those seeking a romantic read with some bite," the story of a woman who attends the wedding of the man she loved and lost ( Booklist ).

Imagine you are invited to Paris, the City of Love, to witness the wedding of your first love to a woman you've never met. Would you go?

It's been ages since Rachael West has seen the man she once believed she couldn't live without. Receiving his wedding invitation was bittersweet-she was oddly touched he's asked her, but knows that facing him on this day would be the hardest thing she's ever done.

But her friends and family convince her to attend. After all, it's an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris! Surely she can get through that one day, and discover all the delights of that magical city the remainder of the time.

So Rachael leaves her small town, setting off for the City of Lights with her best friend, two feuding neighbors, and a suitcase full of home-sewn couture in tow. She's determined to let Paris work its magic-and it does by way of a handsome photojournalist. And before her adventure is over, Rachael will be faced with yet another choice. But this time, hers isn't the only happiness at risk . . . .

"A tender story of living through grief and regrets, with secondary characters who provide plenty of color." - Library Journal
