The wedding of the season in Cozy Cove is set to be a charming affair—until the bride vanishes the night before the ceremony. Her dress hangs untouched, the cake waits uncut, and the town is left wondering whether she bolted or something worse has happened. With no note, no witnesses, and no clear trail, theories flourish like heartbreak, scandal, or a secret too big to carry down the aisle. Librarian Margot Bellamy is more comfortable cataloging forgotten romances than unraveling real ones, but when a misplaced book and a torn wedding veil turn up in the wrong places, she starts asking the quiet questions others avoid. As rumors twist through the sleepy Florida streets, she follows a breadcrumb trail through borrowed heirlooms, silent photographs, and a past the bride may have been desperate to escape. But when a ransom arrives days later, the mystery takes a darker turn—and the cozy corners of town begin to feel less safe. As storm clouds gather on the coast and loyalties tangle like lace, Margot must read between the lines of everything she thought she knew. Because someone wanted this wedding stopped—and not for love.
