Publisher Description

Now a Hallmark Channel movie!

From bestselling author Denise Hunter comes a classic love story filled with the spirit of Christmas where a fake engagement leads to real feelings.

What started as a whim turned into an accidental--and very public--engagement. Can Layla and Seth keep up the façade in Chapel Springs this holiday season--for the sake of her career . . . and his heart?

Under normal circumstances, Seth Murphy--the best friend of Layla O'Reilly's ex-fiancé--would be the last person she'd marry. But the news of their upcoming (and phony) nuptials convinces a big client that Layla may be high-society enough to work for his agency--a coup that would put her fledgling home-staging business on the map.

Seth has secretly loved Layla for years, even when she was dating his best friend. Maybe she'll never forgive him for the way he hurt her back then, but he has to try. And Layla is willing to keep up their engagement farce until she's landed her client.

For Layla, it's the chance to save her career. But for Seth, it's his last chance to win her heart.

A great holiday read!!

A December Bride is such a sweet short read. Layla's been screwed over by 2 people who she should've been able to trust. Instead of placing the blame on those two people, she puts it on Seth, her ex fiancé's friend. Layla is a bit jilted and humiliated by this. Seth decides to try to make it better, by announcing they are getting married.

Layla is a strong female lead who has been dealt a crap hand. Seth is such a sweetie, who's always had deep feelings for her. Loved everyone in the book, with the exception of the trampy Jessica. Hopefully she gets paid back in a future book for her wrong doings :). Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great short read
