About the Author
Rachel wrote her first novel when she was twelve and entered it into a contest for young author/illustrators. Unfortunately, the judges weren’t impressed with her stick figures, so she dropped the dream of becoming a world-famous illustrator and stuck to spinning stories. When she’s not busy working on her latest book, she loves to travel with her family and friends. By far, her favorite destination is the beach, which tends to work its way into most of her stories. Between vacations, you can find her at home in The Woodlands, TX with her wonderful husband, their two adventurous kids and a couple of spirited pets.

Beach Wedding Weekend

Chapter One
Paige Westmoreland was on theverge of pulling off the impossible. Most of the wedding planners who came before her swore it couldn’t be done, and there had been a few times (two particular flaming disasters came to mind) when she’d also doubted its possibility. But here she was, about to manage the perfect wedding.
Pride swirled inside her as she stood in front of the two-story wall of windows and looked out over the manicured gardens the way a painter stood in front of her masterpiece. Sure, it might be a little premature to claim it yet. The bride hadn’t even walked down the aisle, for goodness’ sake. But she had a good feeling about this one. After forty-seven attempts, this was the first time she’d ever gotten this far without so much as a hiccup. Every single box on her pre-wedding checklist was marked off, the kitchen was fully staffed and running right on schedule, and the bride and groom, along with everyone they considered important to their wedding, were in excellent health and fantastic moods. From where Paige stood, she could almost see the glittering pot of gold at the end of the proverbial rainbow. And since the bride of this particular wedding was her best friend’s cousin, it made the victory that much sweeter.
She drew in a deep breath, letting the joy of the perfect day sparkle through her. In her opinion, especially on days like today, she had the best job in the world. Every weekend, and the occasional weekday, she got to see love win. And, as an added bonus, she had the privilege of doing it in Hilltop, the charming resort town nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
Paige ran through the timeline for this particular wedding in her mind. Ten minutes until the groom and his men took their spots and the wedding processional started. Twelve and a half minutes until the bride walked down the aisle at exactly five o’clock. Which meant…
“I made it.” The jovial voice echoed through the otherwise empty room, but even this didn’t surprise her. She typed 8:30 into the timer on her tablet and pressed start before she looked up at the latecomer.
