If Things Were Different
Not yet published
Expected 19 May 26Blythe MacTavish misses her husband. Two years after his death and Scotland-bound to attend his sister’s wedding with her five-year-old daughter, she has never felt his absence more. Travelling solo with a child while grief threatens to undo all the progress she has made, she’s taken aback by the actions of a kind stranger somewhere above the Atlantic.
After a disappointing end to his rugby career and the death of both his parents two years ago, Sam Keefer was looking forward to being away from the bookstore he inherited but never wanted. A two-week trip to Scotland for his best friend’s wedding was the perfect chance for a reset.
Both Blythe and Sam have been living for ghosts. Stuck in limbo after losses that rocked their worlds. But when they find themselves at the same destination wedding, they realize they have a chance to escape real life for a little while. Even if it means breaking their shared rule of never hooking up at a wedding.
What starts as a week of no-strings-attached fun ends with two people struggling to let go of what they’d gotten a glimpse of. The one problem with breaking rules is that there are always consequences, and it doesn’t take long before Blythe and Sam are forced to confront them.

About the author
Megan McSpadden
11 books74 followersMegan McSpadden dreads talking about herself almost as much as seeing a snake on a hike. But she knows we all must do scary things so here it goes.
Megan lives in Hamilton, Ontario with her husband, two dogs, two cats and unruly garden. When not writing she can usually be found photographing families (don’t worry they pay her to do it), yelling at her beloved Toronto Maple Leafs, dreaming of travelling somewhere else or cooking something her husband will ask her to make again but knows she won’t because Megan doesn’t do recipes.
Megan enjoys writing romance that will make you laugh one minute only to cry the next. Don’t ask why because she doesn’t know.
