Matilda Geoffrey had risked it all for love.

She'd left Australia to be with Barry—the man who had swept her off her virtual feet. Now, wearing a wedding dress, she's alone on Main Street in small-town Wisconsin, and things aren't working out exactly as planned....

In town for his annual family visit, Marc Olsen had never seen a bride quite like Matilda—staring into a storefront window, holding a tottering wedding cake and looking desperately in need of a groom. He doesn't have many warm feelings for his hometown, but meeting Matilda just as she discovers she's been scammed by her online "fianc�" stirs something in him.

Matilda is not the kind of woman Marc imagined himself with, and Marc is anything but the romantic hero that Matilda has always dreamed of. But as unlikely circumstances throw them together, can they let go of their misconceptions and risk their hearts for love?

From the Author:

Dear Reader,The idea for this story came from a variety of sources. I'd been wanting to write a bigger book for a while but it was new territory so by default a bit scary. I also didn't have any ideas! I headed off on a ski-ing holiday to Mt Hotham and I got separated from friends and found myself going up the Heavenly Valley chair on my own. As I rode high in the Australian Alps, surrounded by pristine, white snow, I suddenly had an image of a bride holding a wedding cake and staring into a vacant shop window. I had no clue why a bride would be doing that but the image stuck with me.On the drive home with the iPod on shuffle, The Waifs came on singing, Bridal Train; the story of their grandmother who married a US sailor during WW2. At the end of the war, the US navy commissioned a train to collect all the war brides around the country and gathered them all in Sydney before they set sail for the US."All the girls around AustraliaMarried to a Yankee SailorThe fare is paid across the seaTo the home of the brave and the land of the free."But my book wasn't an historical! However, it got me thinking...what if you had grown up hearing the great romantic adventure-cum-love story of your grandmother and what if your mother had her own great romantic adventure-cum-love story and both stories had become family folk law and so I suddenly had a reason for my heroine, Matilda standing in an ancient wedding dress, holding a cake and staring into an empty shop window ready for her great adventure.To hear the song go to my website, fionalowe.com. It is such an evocative song about love, and giving up the love of your country for the love of your man. I totally fell in love with that idea.I hope you enjoy Boomerang Bride.Happy Reading!Fiona x
