# The Leftover Bride

Swans Cove

By: Elodie Nowodazkij

Narrated by: Megan Carter

Are you ready to fall in love with “Hallmark movie’s steamier cousin”? If your heart flutters for grumpy but sweet and sexy book boyfriends and second-chance holidays rom-coms, this book is for you.

Dear Diary,

Hi. It’s me: #TheLeftoverBride. That hashtag sucks. Can we agree ‘Tis the season for a do-over? All I want for Christmas is for my life to turn into a Hallmark movie—but sexier and steamier. Last year, my fiancé, aka #TheRunawayGroom, sprinted past me at the altar, breaking my heart, destroying my booming wedding dress designer career, and bringing my family’s bakery close to bankruptcy.

This year, I have a plan. A list of things to tick off before the 31st of December, including going on a blind date for the first time. Not on this list? Getting back into the spotlight. Also not the list? Falling in lust or in love yet again with my high school sweetheart, Ryan Sawyer.

No way. Not happening. Even if he is back in town with those broad shoulders and that Ryan-grin that make me want oh so much more. Even when I blurt out on national TV that he’s helping me with my to-do list. Even if being around him feels so right.

He didn’t stay after high school.

He’s not staying now.

Get a grip, Sorcha, and stop believing in happily ever after. Unless…could the third time truly be the charm?

Scroll up to buy today.

If you're in the mood for a fun story with lots of chemistry set during the holidays, #The Leftover Bride is a second-chance romance set during the holiday season in a small town on Maryland's Eastern Shore: full of laughter and heartwarming moments (and some sexy moments), checklists, family dynamics, a stubborn cat, and a rescue dog.

Best of the series so far

This book was so fun in spots that it was worth buying the whole series for. (This book was purchased both in audible and kindle version). The whole series is worth buying just for the Christmas eve exchanging of gifts. I think I will laugh inside every time I am opening gifts. Thank you to the author for such a great memory.
