Escape into another gloriously escapist Nantucket romance novel from the USA Today bestselling author.When Caroline Doyle goes to Nantucket in the spring to help her dying aunt wind down her beloved bridal boutique Sea Glass Bridal, she expects an efficient, straightforward task. Instead, she finds herself swept into the upcoming nuptials of Jess Whitmore, an island native preparing for the perfect Nantucket wedding.
Jess chose her gown long before her groom at Sea Glass Bridal, an island institution famed for holding wedding dresses until brides are truly ready to wear them. But as the bridal party gathers for a week of celebrations — beachside cocktails, late-night confessions and nostalgia — it becomes clear that not everything left behind has stayed there.
Between an unexpected reunion, shifting friendships, and the quiet pull of the island itself, long-held certainties begin to feel less certain than they once did for both Caroline and Jess.
Because sometimes the dress might be ready… but the bride isn’t.
