Self-made billionaire Tom McFarlane was a hard man, but that didn’t stop event planner Sylvie Smith’s emotions from going into overdrive in his presence or even at the thought of him. But he’s off limits and out of her reach even with his wedding being canceled.
Yet she has to meet with him to settle her fee. It was so unlike her to have kissed him and more, but the meeting only turned up the heat between them.
That more created a new life, which Sylvie couldn’t be more thrilled about. But what will Tom think? Knowing he deserved to know, she penned a letter informing him, but also giving him an out. Apparently he took her at her word because she neither saw nor heard a word from him in six months. So be it…but Sylvie can’t get through the day without going over her thinking-of-Tom quota. Is there any hope for them at all? It doesn’t seem likely.
Cancelled wedding or not, Tom decided to take the wedding trip and turn it into a holiday for one, which lasted all of six months. Upon his return he finds Sylvie planning a charity wedding event of the year. Her wedding to be precise. Thoughts of Sylvie had kept him in turmoil from the very first introduction. Now she’s marrying her childhood sweetheart and presumed father of the baby.
Assumptions are made before they even set eyes on each other again. Will they be able to break through the barriers and settle the misunderstandings before there’s no turning back?
The Bride’s Baby is an emotionally intense story with extra layers added to the plot and characters. While I missed the wit and lightheartedness I look for from Ms. Fielding, I enjoyed Sylvie and Tom’s rocky road to their HEA.
As always, Liz Fielding brings the characters and emotions to life; something readers always appreciate.
