The Reluctant Bride

Karinne's been engaged to Max for two years, but everything conspires to keep them from actually getting married.

His job as a guide in the Grand Canyon. Her job as a Phoenix-based sports photographer. Her family's troubled past. And now, making matters even more complicated, Karinne has reason to believe that her mother – long presumed dead – might be alive, after all. Now Karinne and Max are spending a week in the Grand Canyon on a rafting trip.

It's supposed to be a pre-wedding vacation, a chance to enjoy some time together, an adventure. But it could be a little too much adventure. Especially when Karinne's mother, Margot, shows up – with a shocking request. It's another thing that comes between Max and Karinne. They love each other, but that might not be enough for this reluctant bride to walk down the aisle!
