The Unexpected Wedding Guest (Marry Me contemporary romance series Book 2)

❤ Close friends . . . a secret crush ❤

It was his sister’s wedding, but Max Trevetti’s eyes weren’t focused on the bride.

Growing up in small-town Tobias, Wisconsin, Max helped raise his little sister Annette, and was a surrogate big brother to her best friend, Suzanna Grant.

Suz always had a secret crush on her best friend's brother, but she would never have thought Max actually saw her as more than a friend.

Max’s self-appointed job is to look out for Suz, not . . . anything else. Except now Max can't keep his eyes off her. That stunning red dress. Her smile.

They’re opposites, for sure. And attraction? . . . Oh, yes!

When the wedding celebration leads to unexpected passion, neither knows how to handle trying to get back to “normal” ... especially when their circle of friends constantly throws them together while trying to save historic Bliss House for eccentric, meddling Miss Trudi.

Was it just a fling, or will friends turn to lovers? Can one wedding plant the seed for another?

Love feel-good, small-town romantic comedy (with a few tears)? Dive into heartfelt, passionate, small-town contemporary romance in The Unexpected Wedding Guest, Book 2 of USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's Marry Me series.
