Welcome Home, Cassie Hale

Cassie Hale likes her life perfectly planned. Color-coded calendars, five-year goals, everything in its place. But when her sister’s wedding brings her back to Cricketfield Falls—and a rental car mix-up strands her with laid-back wildlife photographer Jace Carter—her tidy schedule begins to unravel.

Being home again means more than just wedding checklists. The whole town seems determined to meddle in Cassie’s future. A matchmaking pie shop owner, a bouquet that won’t stop landing in her hands, and an aunt already sketching her wedding cake all have her wondering if she’s the only one resisting the idea of “happily ever after.”

Jace is everything Cassie swore she’d avoid—spontaneous, adventurous, impossible to pin down. Yet as family, faith, and small-town traditions bring them closer, Cassie begins to realize that love doesn’t always follow the plan… and sometimes home is exactly where the best stories begin.

A Sweet Small-Town Wedding Romance full of family meddling, heartfelt laughter, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

Previously published as My Love Language Is Denial (Until It Isn’t)—but don’t worry, the squirrels, pie shop matchmaking, and bouquet tosses are all exactly the same. Only the title got a makeover.
