When Sloane, a cynical freelance illustrator, agrees to be a bridesmaid in the rain-soaked hills of Oregon, she expects bad champagne and blisters. She doesn’t expect Maya—the groom’s "Best Woman" with a laugh that cuts through the wedding-day chaos like a sunbeam.
As they navigate the choreographed madness of the bridal train, the distance between them collapses. For Maya, it’s a spark she’s felt before; for Sloane, it’s a terrifying, beautiful awakening to a side of herself she never knew existed.
The Rhythm of the Vows is a lush, slow-burn romance about the moments that happen between the "I dos"—and the discovery that love doesn't always follow the script. From the tension of the dance floor to a private bonfire by the lake, Janet James delivers a story about shedding old blueprints to paint a future that is finally, authentically yours.
