Dear Reader,
Imagine that the love of your life has just proposed. You’re 24 years old and thrilled beyond reason! He’s the best guy you know, and by some miraculous stroke of luck, he loves you as much as you love him. The moment you say yes, you want to shout the news to the world! Just one problem: your mom is engaged, as well. Your very loving, very co-dependent mom, who will 100% for sure want to have a mother-daughter double wedding if she finds out. Nooooooo!
That’s the situation Shannon’s in at the beginning of my brand-new book, Otherwise Engaged, which is in stores today. I am so excited about this story! Shannon and her mom Cindy are as close as a mother and daughter can be. As a single teen mom, Cindy loved her baby girl with all her heart, which is why she couldn’t bear to let her go, even though she had promised to let wealthy, polished, married Ava adopt her.
