Stacy Connelly - The Best Man Takes A Bride

Does anyone still believe in happily-ever-afters?

Rory McClaren does!

As wedding planner for Hillcrest House Hotel, she’s fully engaged with bridezillas, lace and rose petals. There’s no frown she can’t turn upside down—until she meets businessman Jamison Porter. The widowed single dad is in town to play best man for his best friend. But when his little girl falls for Rory’s charms, could Jamison be hearing wedding bells...of his own?

STACY CONNELLY has dreamed of publishing books since she was a kid, writing stories about a girl and her horse. Eventually, boys made it onto the pages as she discovered a love of romance and the promise of happily-ever-after. When she is not lost in the land of make-believe, Stacy lives in Arizona with her three spoiled dogs.
