The Reluctant Bride — Lorraine Bartlett

Don Parsons and Nick Ferrell bought a ramshackle Victorian spinster and plan to transform her into a Painted Lady. Weddings and other parties are a part of their business plan. They'll be hosting a small ceremony and reception for bride-to-be Lauren Washborne … except she doesn't seem all that enthusiastic about her upcoming nuptials. Don wants to know why -- but Nick is against the idea. Will Lauren have a chance to live happily ever after, or will her suitor be left at the altar?
