“A quietly powerful love story.” (Booklist, starred review)

Maya Jackson has worked for Laura Whitcomb, Inc., a renowned New York City bridal gown band, for years, and she dreams of becoming head designer. She has the talent; she just needs a chance to showcase her unique style. Due to an illness, Maya has always prioritized her career over her personal life, until her father fractures his hip and she returns home to Charleston, South Carolina. Although there for only a few months, she’s thrilled to find an opportunity at the local bridal gown boutique, never expecting sparks to fly with its owner…

A military veteran and widowed father, Derek Sullivan hopes to save Always a Bride from bankruptcy in order to preserve his family’s legacy. He also wants to reconnect with his estranged twelve-year-old daughter, who is still recovering from the loss of her mother three years earlier. The last thing he needs is a relationship with a beautiful, smart, complicated woman who will be leaving soon.

When Derek begins to fall for the lovely Maya, he knows there’s no future. But destiny has its own plans, and these two lonely people with big hearts discover that coming home to love is the best gift life can give.
