three autumn love stories

Love takes the cake by Betsy St. Amant: Charlotte Cantrell is always the baker; never the bride. When Will, a regular at Charlotte's bakery, catches her attention, she can only hope that he is the reliable man this single mother has always hoped to find. The problem is that he's regularly stopping in to buy cookies for another girl. But when Charlotte is hired to bake a host of wedding goodies for a difficult bride and finds out Will is the best man, she has the perfect opportunity to get to know him better -- and find out how serious Will is about this other girl in his life. ;The perfect arrangement by Katie Ganshert: Amelia Woods is a small-town wallflower and the proud owner of Forget-Me-Nots, a quaint flower shop. Despite her success in business, her love life has always been a bit lackluster. Until she spies on her ex-boyfriend's wedding and ends up in an embarrassing fender-bender with handsome wedding guest, Nate Gallagher. Meanwhile, Amelia's younger brother, William, has proposed to his girlfriend. Amelia would be excited except she has evidence that the fiancée is not who she says she is. It seems Nate is the only one available for any advice-giving, and he's good at it -- and pretty fun to talk to, too. As Amelia works to craft the perfect flower arrangements for other people -- including a ninety-year-old "fairy godmother" named George -- she begins to wonder if real love is better than the dream. And if it is, will Nate still be interested when he learns who she is? ;Love in the details by Becky Wade: When Josh returns to his hometown of Martinsburg, Texas, to help his best friend get married, he didn't intend to run into church wedding coordinator -- and ex-girlfriend -- Holly. He can't help but pine after the girl he never got over. Holly broke up with Josh years ago in an attempt to ensure his future success. But she loved him then and still loves him now. As she helps him plan his best friend's wedding, she can't help but feel horrible for the pain she caused him. And even though she longs to be with Josh, she doesn't feel worthy of his big-time lifestyle when she is more comfortable in her small town world. Will Josh and Holly be able to keep things as they are when their true feelings threaten to surface at every turn?
