“A book is a dream that you hold in your hands”
Hot Mother By Nancy Peach
Penny Baker is winning at life. Sort of.
Her work is demanding, her kids are demanding and her husband seems to be undergoing some weird midlife crisis but she is juggling it all – with the added delights of the menopause.
But when the charity she works for is thrown into crisis and her mother’s dementia advances, the strain starts to show.
Can she navigate it all and still somehow keep a smile on her – flushed – face?
“Have you ever heard of a man-in-waiting?”
Yeah, not many have, Breaker Cane included. But his best friend, Lia Fairweather-Fern, can’t get married without some extra help. That’s why she’s recruited him to take on the snarling beast that’s her soon-to-be monster-in-law, Mrs. Beaver. For some reason, the groom’s mother seems to have never heard the phrase, “What the bride wants, the bride gets.” Lucky for Lia, Breaker has, and he accepts the challenge. After all, how much trouble can one woman cause?
The problem is, it isn’t Mrs. Beaver giving Breaker the most grief—it’s actually Lia. Because with every second her wedding draws closer, he’s starting to see her in a different light. She’s always been beautiful, but now, he finds himself staring a touch too long, his hand lingering for one more minute, and when she’s upset? Allowing her to sleep in his bed.
Before he knows it, it hits him like a ton of bricks: he’s fallen in love with his best friend.
Nothing is snapping him out of it. Not the girl he tries to date during the wedding planning. Not Lia’s increasingly suspicious fiancé. Not even the looming deadline of her upcoming nuptials.
Which means there’s only one thing left to do: prove to Lia he’s the one she should be with instead.
And it’s going to be a lot harder than he thinks.
