A Wedding in Wildflower Lane (Return to Cornwall Book 12)
The latest chapter of RETURN TO CORNWALL brings readers two very different weddings—and one very surprising client—for the final novel in the bestselling series!
Having once dismissed Kitty’s fears about a rival wedding planner, Julianne’s words come back to haunt her when she learns that a smart, upscale event planning service is planning to open its newest branch in Cornwall. Elegant Settings and its lead event planner Emma Dumbridge caters to the kind of wealthy clients that Julianne and Kitty rely on to make their local client’s small weddings financially possible, and Julianne worries that this spells doom for Save the Date.
Julianne’s worries will only be compounded by the shock of learning the name of their rival’s first Cornish wedding—Matt’s ex and Julianne’s first-ever wedding client, the model Petal Borroway. Much to her chagrin, she and Kitty are tapped by the chic event planner to oversee a few minor local affairs on their client’s behalf, a role which she feels they have no choice but to fulfill.
Speaking of small-scale clients, Rosie and animal whisperer Thamis have decided to tie the knot, which means Julianne and Kitty are tasked with helping her create a memorable day on a budget. Planning what could be the last wedding before their beloved business begins slipping away—whilst helping create a wedding for her least-favorite client of all time—Julianne is surrounded by questions, doubts, and a few old ghosts, as she faces a future she can’t yet imagine.
Will Save the Date survive its rivalry? Will Julianne be able to deal with Matt seeing Petal again? Will Rosie’s happy day come together despite all the challenges in the lives of its planners? All will be revealed as we say goodbye to the well-loved sequel series and to Julianne, Matt, and all the beloved characters of Ceffylgwyn.
