On the Way to a Wedding

An isolated forest road, a car in the ditch, a sprained ankle, a wedding dress . . . Ryder O'Callaghan finds Toria Whitney on the side of a forest road with a totaled car, a sprained ankle, and a wedding dress. Both Ryder and Toria are scheduled to be married in three weeks?but not to each other. Deep down inside, Ryder longs for the freedom and simple honesty of a less complicated life, but his pride has him hell-bent on proving a point to his father. He's building an estate home and marrying the sophisticated, elegant woman he's chosen for his fiancée. Confident in his conviction that love is overrated, Ryder is determined to make the lukewarm relationship work, so he denies his surprising fascination for his roadside damsel in distress. Toria is running scared. She has called off her wedding to her parents' idea of the perfect husband, and she needs time and space to discover what she really wants. The last thing she needs to complicate her life is the overwhelming attraction she feels for Ryder. But sometimes love arrives in the most unexpected places. Coming of Age, Sweet Contemporary Romance - some Adult Language - features a lovable construction worker who occasionally curses when in the grip of powerful emotions, like when he duels with the heroine or hits his thumb with a hammer.
