She was sitting on a bench outside the church.
Archie Carew paused as he drew level with her. Even though it was none of his business what she was doing there, he couldn’t just walk away.
‘Are you all right?’ he asked, and saw the start she gave. It was obvious that she hadn’t noticed him.
She gave a broken little laugh. ‘I’m supposed to be getting married tomorrow. Everything is all arranged—my dress, the cake, the service at this church…’
‘But now you’re having second thoughts?’ he suggested.
She took a deep breath. ‘Yes. I just wish I’d listened to what my heart has been telling me before now.’
Archie didn’t say anything to that. If he’d listened to his heart then he wouldn’t be thinking about giving up the career he loved.
She gave him a quick smile, and Archie realised with a sudden jolt just how beautiful she was. With her soft brown hair and huge hazel eyes, she was truly gorgeous.
‘If there’s any advice I can give you, then it’s to follow your heart. If it doesn’t feel right in here—’ he placed his hand on his chest ‘—don’t do it.’
Archie felt his heart ache as he glanced at her. She looked so vulnerable that he was tempted to stay.
‘Good luck,’ he said huskily. ‘I hope everything works out for you.’ He took a deep breath. Even though he might not be able to follow his heart, at least he could make amends for what he had done.
The thought made him feel better than he’d done for a long time, and he realised that it was all thanks to this beautiful runaway bride…
Dear Reader
In November 2006 my husband and I experienced the joy of seeing our daughter, Vicky, marry her fiancé, Jamie. The wedding was held in Thailand, and it was the most wonderful day we could have wished for. I decided to mark the occasion by writing this mini-series—four books which all revolve around a wedding.
When Heather Thompson realises the day before her wedding that she is making a mistake, she doesn’t know what to do. How can she call off the wedding at this stage and let everyone down? However, a chance meeting with a kindly stranger convinces her that it will be even worse if she goes ahead and marries for the wrong reasons.
Cancelling her wedding means that Heather needs to make a lot more changes to her life. She leaves Dalverston and takes a job in London, and is stunned when she finds herself working with the man who helped her make up her mind. It isn’t long before she realises that she and Archie Carew are attracted to each other, but is it wise to start another relationship so soon?
Bringing Archie and Heather together during this book was a real pleasure. They were two characters I really loved and enjoyed writing about. I hope you enjoy reading their story, and all the other stories in this series.
Best wishes
Jennifer

CHAPTER ONE
Dalverston: December
SHE was sitting on a bench outside the church. The wind was bitter as it blew down from the surrounding hills, but she seemed oblivious to the icy conditions as she sat there, lost in thought. Archie Carew paused as he drew level with her. Even though he knew it was none of his business what she was doing there, he couldn’t just walk away.
It had been pure impulse that had made him decide to spend the night
