*~*Love Notes: Hartley to Nadine – Marrying Mr. Valentine by Laura Barnard*~*
Nadine Roberts smiles for everyone, but beneath it she hides a heartbreaking past that only a few know about. Throwing herself into her new career; wedding planner at The Duck & Goose, a property recently purchased by newlyweds Florence and Hugh, has helped distract her from her loneliness.
When a teary bride suddenly cancels her upcoming wedding Nadine looks to the two year waiting list. Clara Blumenkrantz and Hartley Valentine. It’ll have to be a quick turnaround, but what’s the worst that can happen, right?
This should be like every other wedding she plans, but the magnetism she feels towards Mr Valentine disrupts the orderly life she’s worked hard to carve out.
Can she ignore her intense desires and be a professional? Or will she open up her heart to the one person that has the power to break it? And in doing so endanger not just her job, but her venue’s reputation?

After a string of bad dates, Florence Gray is so over online dating. So much so, that if she has to survive another guy standing her up she might just do something crazy … like accept the first proposal she gets.
So when she finds herself alone in the bar, again, Florence can hardly believe her eyes-or ears-when Hugh Humphreys swoops in and presents her with a proposal so adventurous she can’t believe she’s actually considering saying yes.
Because, after all, twenty five days to plan a wedding is some feat and that’s while getting to know your fiancé, their disapproving Mother and dealing with a jealous ex. Throw in the small matter of where they should live and you have Florence wondering what the hell she’s gotten herself into.
Can you really countdown to a wedding like an advent calendar? Fall in love with a stranger and make them your husband? Because if she’s going to make it down the aisle Christmas morning, Florence has to find out and fast.
Hartley pleads his case…

Nadine,
I can’t believe I’m writing you this letter, but I have to confess that I have feelings for you. I know it’s wrong on so many levels, least being that you’re organizing my wedding, but I can’t hold it in any more. From the moment I met you you’ve sparked something alive inside of me. A light that can’t be put out. I can’t go through with marrying Clara, not when I know I could have my chance of happiness with you. I know you feel the same, but the good girl in you is trying to ignore it. Why don’t you just block out all of those voices telling you it’s a bad idea and follow your heart. Be selfish for once in your life.
I’ll be waiting.
Always Yours
