Wedding Season by Katie Fforde

For a wedding planner, Sarah is awfully cynical. In fact, she doesn't even really believe in love and marriage -- but don't tell her clients that! After having her heart soundly broken, she has thrown herself into her business and all of her hard work is paying off. Weddings are complicated and Sarah works closely with her suppliers, her caterers, her florists, her dressmakers, her vicars at local churches, her photographers, her reception hall managers. With two years of planning and effort, Sarah organizes a huge society wedding for a very picky bride. Before she can catch her breath, an American actress decides she wants a similar wedding, with all the same features, but with only two months to plan!

It's the Wedding Season -- equal parts romantic, funny, poignant and appealing. Enjoy!

Alex Hill is simply stressed out. She has a big product launch coming up at her London marketing company and her demanding mother, an iconic actress from the 1960's, has to move in to her small apartment while recovering from a fall. Alex doesn't have time to worry about her cooking for her mother, letting in the plumber and picking up the dry cleaning.

Trying to help, Alex's friend Saffron, a disgruntled stay-at-home wife and mother, jokingly suggests that Alex needs more than just a maid, she needs a wife! Saffron helps Alex advertise for help in the local paper and interview applicants, but when the best qualified applicant is an out of work actor, a man named Frankie, Alex won't hire him. 

Jane Mansfield wakes up in an unfamiliar bed. Her voice sounds odd, and she sees a stranger's face and body in the mirror. The only dress of appropriate length is a long white gown, much too formal for morning calls. And she's shocked to discover that she is unsupervised in these close quarters with a man who is concerned with her well-being and keeps offering her refreshments - perhaps he is a servant?
