The Best Man
Kristan Higgins
Blue Heron #1
Jilted at the altar, she returns home — only to fall for her ex's best friend who helped end her wedding.
Description
Sometimes the best man is the one you least expect... Faith Holland left her hometown after being jilted at the altar. Now a little older and wiser, she's ready to return to the Blue Heron Winery, her family's vineyard, to confront the ghosts of her past, and maybe enjoy a glass of red. After all, there's some great scenery there... Like Levi Cooper, the local police chief - and best friend of her former fiance. There's a lot about Levi that Faith never noticed, and it's not just those deep green eyes. The only catch is she's having a hard time forgetting that he helped ruin her wedding all those years ago. If she can find a minute amidst all her family drama to stop and smell the rose, she just might find a reason to stay at Blue Heron, and finish that walk down the aisle.
