What if the only way you could make your father’s last wish come true . . . was to marry the man of your dreams?

Emma Tate has just moved on from one fiancé, so when she announces a sudden engagement to her lifelong buddy Jake Sawyer, every busybody in Mayfair goes into high alert. Of course, no one but Jake and Emma know the real reason they’re getting married—so Emma’s dying father will have a chance to walk her down the aisle.

But while Jake and Emma move forward with their plan—and frantically plan an October wedding—it becomes clear that their agreement has a few complications . . . the biggest being their true feelings for each other.

With dubious friends, deliriously thrilled parents, and a town that won’t keep its nose out of their business, Emma and Jake will have a lot to contend with if they’re going to pull this off. The real question is: Who wants this wedding more, Emma’s dad . . . or Emma?

AN OCTOBER BRIDE is the latest in Zondervan’s A Year of Weddings novellas. I loved some of them, didn’t like others, but I have to say I absolutely loved AN OCTOBER BRIDE. I’ve never read any of this author’s books before, but after this one I may have to look them up.

Emma and Jake are total dears and I couldn’t wait to see how this story played out. I fell in love with Jake! The black moment was so sad. But it all worked out, for a HEA and this romance lover is happy. Fans of contemporary romance will love AN OCTOBER BRIDE and most of the books in this collection. $3.79 Kindle. 84 pages.
