Bright Smile

Daphne

Lighting up the gorgeous items in the window of Secondhand Rose is something Daphne can do with her eyes closed. But shining a light on herself? She's not so good at that. Not until the local event planner, who she's been secretly crushing on, asks for her help. They make a great team and, infected by wedding energy, Daphne takes a chance and kisses Tabitha...

Tabitha

Planning other people's joyful events at the Braverton Botanical Garden is where Tabitha's skills blossom. She's so invested in making sure other people are happy she hasn't made space to fulfill her own desires-because her desires could cause trouble with the conservative board at the Garden. And when she gives in to her attraction to Daphne, her own event turns unhappy very quickly.
