A year’s worth of novellas from twelve inspirational romance authors. Happily ever after guaranteed.
What started as a whim turned into an accidental—and very public—engagement. Can Layla and Seth keep up the façade in Chapel Springs this holiday season—for the sake of her career . . . and his heart?
Under normal circumstances, Seth Murphy—the best friend of Layla O’Reilly’s ex-fiancé—would be the last person she’d marry. But the news of their upcoming (and phony) nuptials convinces a big client that Layla may be high-society enough to work for his agency—a coup that would put her fledgling home-staging business on the map.
Seth has secretly loved Layla for years, even when she was dating his best friend. Maybe she’ll never forgive him for the way he hurt her back then, but he has to try. And Layla is willing to keep up their engagement farce until she’s landed her client.
For Layla, it’s the chance to save her career. But for Seth, it’s his last chance to win her heart.

Summary
A December Bride is part of the A Year of Weddings series. I am thoroughly enjoyed these novellas. At first I wasn’t sure if I would like a contemporary engagement of convenience story. I was surprised to find that I enjoyed it very much. The characters were likable and fun. Layla is trying to get her home staging business off the ground. Seth agrees to let her decorate his home for the Christmas Home Show which led to some adorable scenes between the two of them. The ladder scene was my favorite. Seth has been in love with her for years, even before she dated and was betrayed by his best friend. It is a sweet romantic story that I highly recommend. I was so into the Christmas decorating that I would have loved to have seen pictures of Seth’s house she decorated.
