Who knew finding the love of your life would be the easy part?

Three weeks to the day after Maddy Bainbridge announced her engagement to Aidan O'Malley, she found herself stripped and held hostage in the bridal department of the Short Hills Saks in front of her family, her future in-laws, and a PBS research assistant named Crystal whose tattoos were outnumbered only by her piercings.

Maddy is no bridezilla and Aidan is starting to talk about eloping, but they’re no match for their wedding-obsessed families.

The DiFalco and O’Malley clans are putting aside their differences to plan the wedding but long-buried family secrets (and a few brand-new ones) threaten to wreck the nuptials before the two lovers have a chance to walk down the aisle.

Everyone in Paradise Point agrees that Maddy and Aidan are a match made in Jersey Shore heaven, destined to enjoy the happily-ever-after ending that somehow eluded their families.

If they survive the wedding!

Alternately poignant and humorous, this contemporary romance gracefully illuminates life's highs and lows.
