Publisher Description
Texas is about to be wrapped up in love and homespun perfection with this new contemporary romance anthology featuring novellas from legendary, bestselling authors Jodi Thomas, Lori Wilde, and Patience Griffin! Three novellas weave tales of women whose quilting craft ultimately leads them down the path to love.
THE SECRET WISH * Jodi Thomas
The little town of While-a-Way, Texas, may as well be named Last Chance as far as Avery Cleveland is concerned. Running her late great-grandmother’s quilt shop is the only way to build back her life after losing her dancing career. But local sheriff Daniel Solis is stunned by Avery’s beauty and spirit—and hopes to show her how to stitch brand-new dreams together . . .
WISH UPON A WEDDING * Lori Wilde
Ellie Winter’s sister is holding a quilting bee as her bachelorette party, creating a memory quilt for their grandmother. If only the event weren’t happening at the ranch where Ellie spent childhood summers, now owned by the man she can’t forget. Four days surely isn’t enough time to fall in love again . . . but what about four long, hot, summer nights?
WHEN YOU WISH UPON A QUILT * Patience Griffin
Paige Holiday’s last visit to the International Quilt Festival in Houston ended in heartbreak. It seems like all the women in her family are unlucky in love. So at this year’s festival, Paige is focused solely on business, until a gorgeous cowboy crosses her path, ready to turn her life—and her luck—around . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The art of quilting plays a pivotal role in helping lonely, wounded souls find their hearts' desires in these three uplifting contemporary romance novellas. In Thomas's sweet "The Secret Wish," Avery, a ballet dancer recovering from a grave injury, inherits her great-grandmother's quilt shop in small-town While-a-Way, Tex., on the condition that she run it for a year before deciding to sell. A shy sheriff with a crush and an unexpected gunfight add both romance and suspense as Avery discovers new ways to keep dancing in her life. Wilde's tender second-chance romance, "Wish upon a Wedding," reunites former lovers Dalton and Elle, who met as teens at the Dusty Sagebrush Ranch bereavement camp. A decade after their breakup, Elle returns to the ranch for her sister's wedding—and her old-fashioned bachelorette quilting bee—only to discover that Dalton is the new owner and the mastermind behind converting the property into a wedding venue. Finally, Alaskan fabric designer Paige and Texas rancher Holt strike up a connection at Houston's Quilt Market, tempting Paige to take another shot at love, in Griffin's heartwarming "When You Wish upon a Quilt." All three outings are as satisfying as they are sweet. Craft-loving romance fans will be especially pleased.
