Description

'Bursting with heart' Lindsey Kelk 'Filled my heart with joy' Paige Toon Sophie Breeze is a brilliant bridesmaid. So brilliant, in fact, that she's made it her full-time job. As a professional bridesmaid, Sophie is secretly hired by brides to be their right-hand woman, ensuring their big day goes off without a hitch. From wrangling rowdy hen dos to navigating last minute portaloo cancellations, there's no problem she can't solve. So when she's employed by an actual Marchioness to help plan the society wedding of the year, it should be a chance for Sophie to prove just how talented she is. Of course, it's not ideal that the bride, Cordelia, is rude, difficult and determined to make Sophie's life a nightmare. It's also a bit inconvenient when Sophie finds herself drawn to Cordelia's posh older brother, who is absolutely off limits. And when a rival society wedding is announced, things get even more complicated . . . Can Sophie pull off the biggest challenge of her career, follow her heart and maintain her reputation - all while keeping her true identity hidden? ________________________________ Everyone is talking about The Secret Bridesmaid 'Total escapist fun!'Fabulous magazine 'An absolute treat'Katie Marsh 'Will have you laughing down the aisle'My Weekly 'Vivid and heartwarming . . . a fun, fresh romantic comedy' Holly Miller 'A unique, hilarious spin on wedding mayhem' Publishers Weekly
