The Harrington sisters have never gotten along. Sara is a Type-A,
career-focused event planner, and her younger sister Mariel is the opposite:
bohemian, semi-employed, and recently engaged. When Sara's mother lures her
back to Connecticut under false pretenses, she is perturbed to discover Mariel
waiting for her, eager to reconcile their relationship -- and get some help
with the final arrangements before her big day. The two sisters haven't spoken
since the night Sara realized something was going on between Mariel and Sara's
boyfriend, Carter Pryce. And now Mariel is about to marry Carter, the man she
stole from Sara, the man Sara still loves.
When Mariel asks Sara to stand in for a bridesmaid who has to cancel at the last minute, Sara realizes it's the perfect cover to unravel the nuptials and win Carter back. Sara begins to slowly sabotage Mariel's picture-perfect wedding, but when she crosses paths with David Cole, he challenges her self-image as the jilted second-fiddle to her spotlight-stealing sister. Will Sara realize what a bridesmaid-zilla she's become in time to fix the damage before Mariel's big day?
Funny, soulful, and as sweet as buttercream, The Wedding Thief is the perfect summer read.

About the author:
Mary Simses grew up in Darien, Connecticut and began writing
stories as a child. After majoring in journalism in college, she worked for a
few years in magazine publishing, but then decided to go back to school to
become a lawyer. While working as a corporate attorney, Mary enrolled in an
evening fiction writing class at a university in Connecticut and began writing
short stories “on the side.” Several of her stories were published in literary
magazines. She finally took the advice of a friend and decided to try writing a
novel. That manuscript ultimately became The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop
& Café, which was published in 2013 and later adapted as a
movie called The Irresistible Blueberry Farm for the Hallmark Movies
& Mysteries Channel. Mary has since written The Rules of
Love & Grammar and The Wedding Thief.
Mary enjoys photography, old jazz
standards, and escaping to Connecticut in the summer. She lives in South
Florida.
