Dana Hawkins’s Pre-effect: List

Morgan Rose has always been a girl with plans. Color-coded calendar, backup plan for backup plan and her entire world. In the process, only one woman managed to derail Morgan’s organized life and break her heart. But Morgan no longer considers Frankie Lee.

Until Morgan met a photographer whom her latest client picked herself and discovered that Frankie wasn’t in New York as she thought. She returned to the Spring Harbor and looked very good, and the world of Morgan’s carefully ordered was in chaos.

Morgan has only 87 days to complete her career wedding and she won’t let Frankie get out of this opportunity. Frankie’s new hairstyle or the shadow angle between her shoulders and biceps would not distract her. And, when she leaves Morgan, she won’t care about Frankie’s unfair and salty attitude.

But some sparks never go away, and as the wedding approaches and the tension between Morgan and Frankie, can they face the mistake of taking them apart, or risk them again?

About learning the best love story worthy of… two battles of the perfect spiced romance. The next unestimated reading is fans of Ashley Herring Blake, Alexandria Bellefleur and Haley Cass.
