A billionaires bet. A wedding without a bride. And the planner who never planned on falling for the groom.

When Manhattans most meticulous wedding planner Anica Marcel is offered one million dollars to orchestrate charming tech billionaire Callan Burkhardts perfect wedding, sans a bride, she knows its a recipe for disaster. He needs to marry someone within three months to win a $30 million bet with his friends. She needs the money to expand her business. The only problem? Hes cocky, knows it, and is sabotaging every match she finds for him.

Their arrangement has clear boundaries: shell plan his dream wedding and help him find a suitable match. No emotional entanglements. No crossing lines. Absolutely no falling for each other.

But as they navigate venue visits posing as an engaged couple and spend time with Callans meddling grandmother, those professional boundaries blur. Behind his cynical view of love and playboy fa?ade, Anica discovers a man with genuine kindness and unexpected vulnerabilities. And despite her best defenses, Callan sees through her perfectly organized exterior to the heart shes kept carefully guarded since her ex cheated on her with a client.

When things heat up between the two of them, Anica faces an impossible choice: risk her heart on a man who doesnt believe love exists, or walk away from the only one whos made her want to trust again.

Witty, emotional, and deliciously romantic—Bride Not Included delivers wedding seasons most swoon-worthy read.
