Once Upon a Bride — Jean Stone

Can love, romance, and marriage really be better the second time around? That's what four best friends are about to find out in Jean Stone's sexy, smart, and poignantly funny new novel about saying "I do" all over again.
It's an idea just crazy enough to work -- a wedding-planning business tailored for second weddings run by four single best friends who've loved, who've lost, and who are ready to start again. A successful Boston publicist, Jo Lyons has returned to West Hope after a devastating breakup left her career and her heart broken. Now she'll try to pick up the pieces among the three women she knows best. Lily, the fun-loving, free-spirited eternal optimist. Sarah, the strong-willed unconventional artist. Elaine, the would-be domestic diva. It's Elaine's upcoming second marriage that will be the inspiration and test model for their new business, Second Chances. For Jo it just may be an unexpected second chance of a different, far more romantic kind, but only if she's willing to give love -- and life -- another try.
