About this audiobook

Two brides. One vineyard. One wedding date that someone double-booked. Neither of them is willing to give it up. Sylvia Marchetti has spent forty years tending the vines her late husband planted and the rose garden he laid out for her bare-root, bundle by bundle. Here, Sylvia. This one's for you. The one with the thorns. Now she's seventy-three, Mario's gone, the fountain's run dry, the pergola's collapsed, and the real estate vultures keep calling about boutique hotels and destination weddings. She can't sell what Mario built. But she can pass it on. So she hands her crumbling estate to two women who each think they've booked it for the most important day of their lives. One arrives with a sharp blazer and a checklist she can't stop double-checking. The other comes barefoot, holding a single wildflower, ready to plant a garden she may never get to bloom. They are supposed to be rivals. They are supposed to split the venue, the dates, the dream, and walk away. So they strike an uneasy alliance, dividing the rooms, the rose beds, the calendar down the middle. Then they start rebuilding the dying garden together, one cut cane and one cleared path at a time. "To Maggie, who taught me that love is not a plan." Somewhere between the locked shed and the overlook at sunset, between the venom in the vines and the gossip at the gala, the alliance turns into something neither of them booked, planned, or can afford to feel. Because the wedding each of them is fighting for might not be the one her heart actually wants. Because the woman across the garden, the rival she was ready to resent, is becoming the one she can't stop thinking about. And the last chance at forever almost never arrives on the date you booked. Two Brides, One Venue is a tender, slow-burn lesbian romance about forced proximity, rivals to lovers, second chances, family legacy, found family, and learning that love is not a plan. Perfect for readers who love sapphic wedding romance, enemies-to-lovers, vineyard settings, grumpy-meets-sunshine, and emotional second-chance love stories. A standalone romance with a heartfelt happy ending.
