After the Last Guest

Mara Bennett can rescue a wedding, calm a supplier, and find a bride hiding in a linen cupboard. What she cannot do is stop the new owner of the Beaumont from turning her carefully arranged life upside down.

Elias Mercer has spent thirty years becoming the man nobody can send away. Buying the coastal hotel where his mother once worked should feel like victory. Instead, he inherits missing money, impossible promises, and a wedding planner who refuses to be impressed by his name.

She is thirty. He is fifty-two. Their six-week agreement is supposed to save eight weddings—not give them a reason to linger after the last guest leaves.
