What’s a wedding without a little family drama? Vada Zink could’ve never predicted her new job in the small town of Ghosttown would forever change the course of her life. After a rocky start, she’d fallen in love with her notorious, panty-dropping outlaw boss, stepped into her beloved role as mother to his daughter, and fulfilled her lifelong goal of becoming a schoolteacher. In a few short weeks she’d become Vada Monroe. But this much anticipated and well-deserved trip to the altar would have its obstacles. Hades had never seen himself settling down, but Vada had changed that. With her and his daughter, they’d settled into a stable and contented family life. For Hades Monroe, the wedding was just a formality, for he’d already claimed Vada as his old lady. The upcoming wedding was just the perfect excuse to get together with their friends and family. But that might be easier said than done. Vada’s father and siblings had disowned her long ago, and their toxic influence on her life wasn’t missed. Without their belittling comments and supercilious sneers, Hades watched her bloom into the sweet, confident, and loving woman he’d always seen beneath the shy wallflower, and he fiercely protected her from anyone who might tear her down. But behind the scenes, Vada had also spent the past year working hard to piece back together her fractured relationship with her mother. However, the wedding may have triggered an ugly turn none of them saw coming. It could be the end of Vada’s family ties or possibly a blessing in disguise.
