'Matilda Geoffrey risked it all for love. She left Australia to be with Barry-the man who had swept her off her virtual feet. Now, wearing a wedding dress, she's alone on Main Street in small-town Wisconsin, and things aren't working out exactly as planned...
'In town for his annual family visit, Marc Olsen had never seen a bride quite like Matilda-staring into a storefront window, holding a tottering wedding cake, and looking desperately in need of a groom. He may not have any warm feelings for his hometown, but meeting Matilda just as she discovers she's been scammed by her online "fiancé" stirs something in him.
'Matilida is not the kind of woman Marc imagined himself with, and Marc is anything but the romantic hero that Matilda has always dreamed of. But as unlikely circumstances throw them together, can they let go of their misconceptions and risk their hearts for love?'

Notes

Dedication:
For Norm, Sandon and Barton for their suggestion that I 'write a big book' and for their support while I did it. I love you guys!
To Jude, Doris, Libbey, Cindy, Elizabeth and Maureen for making an Aussie so welcome in Wisconsin.
And with thanks to Norma who patiently answered my questions, to Charlotte who loved the story and translated 'Aussie' to 'American-speak,' and to Rachelle who explained how small-town Wisconsin policing works. I couldn't have done it without you all!
