The Blessed Bride

All her life, Ailish Winslet has been a stickler for what is right and good…but one mistake has her running home to Blessings, California, and the parents she hasn't seen in ten years. Parents who will never look at her the same once they discover her desperate secret. But she has no choice...she can only hide her secret for so long.

Sergey Ivanov has made a lifetime of mistakes, but his biggest mistake was abandoning his only family to seek a fortune that was never meant to be his. Now, he's back, desperate to make amends, to start over, and the wily town founder, Atherton, has a few ideas on how he can do that. Help him create a book of Blessings, for Blessings.

Thrown together day after day, conducting interviews, sketching bucolic scenes, Ailish and Sergey can't help but lose a part of themselves with each glance, each touch…each secret. And when Ailish's biggest secret is revealed, will Sergey finally take a stand for something he believes in, or will Ailish face her greatest fears alone?
