    About this audiobook

    They’ve helped orchestrate the perfect day for countless couples. Now twelve new couples will find themselves in the wedding spotlight in the second Year of Weddings novella collection.

    Mari wants her sister Crystal’s wedding to be perfect. But a poorly-chosen maid of honor may turn it into a disaster.

    Mari Hays’s older sister Crystal is getting married, and Mari is ecstatic to be part of the wedding. But she soon finds her expected role of maid of honor has been delegated to the worst possible choice: Sienna Jameson. She’s catty, selfish, and totally into herself, and when Sienna discovers handsome professional baseball player Derrick Richardson is the best man, she sets her sights on her next boyfriend instead of on the wedding plans.

    Meanwhile, Mari is determined to keep the glamorous event afloat. Wrapped up in dress fittings, bridal showers, and baking teacup-shaped cookies, she is shocked when Derrick has taken notice of her. In fact, he treats her like she’s a home run.

    With the wedding day looming, an emotional and sensitive sister, a selfish maid of honor, and intense pressure from Crystal’s soon-to-be in-laws, Mari fears her attempts to make her sister’s wedding perfect will be for naught. Can Mari keep the waters calm until the bride and groom jet off for their honeymoon? And will she allow herself to be caught by Houston’s most eligible bachelor?

    Janice Thompson

    Janice Thompson has combined her academic qualifications which include a master’s degree in Psychology research with her practical experience of working as a therapist and trainer. For the past fifteen years she has dedicated herself to helping those who are grieving. She has developed and facilitates grief training for practitioners, regularly runs workshops on loss and grief, holds grief retreats and leads an online grief café where those grieving can come together and share experiences. Janice speaks on various aspects of grief at conferences and has participated in a wide variety of podcasts. Janice’s passion for working with those grieving began after finding some techniques and tools to help herself through the sudden loss of her husband at a young age. The realisation that her struggle to find peace was related to an earlier death in the family led her on a journey to understand grief and subsequently help others. Janice enjoys a simple life in Shropshire, England, where she lives on her narrowboat with her partner and her dog, Dudley.
