The Wedding Game





From the Queen of the Meet-Cute: A fresh, funny will-they-won't-they wedding season romcom about a woman who finds herself caught between two perfect men. Perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary and Catherine Walsh.

'Gorgeously swoonworthy... The perfect will-they-won't-they romance' Jo Lovett
_______________

It started as a dare…

Best friends Lexie and Scarlet are attending their ninth – or is it tenth? – wedding this summer. To keep things fresh, they've upped their game. With bingo. To win, all Lexie must do is complete her scorecard first.

A tipsy bridesmaid? Tick!
An awkward best man's speech? Tick!
A terrible DJ? Tick!
And finally: Kiss a groomsman…

But Lexie hasn't gambled on finding not one but two gorgeous groomsmen. Chris, tall, dark and handsome – and leaving for New York tonight – and charmingly rugged farmer Josh.

True love could be on the cards. If Lexie can make the right choice, right now…
