# The Leftover Bride: A Steamy Holiday Rom-Com of Second Chances and Small-Town Love

Book excerpt: Hey there, it's Sorcha O'Connor. You might know me as the infamous #TheLeftoverBride. Before you ask, no, that hashtag doesn't exactly bring me joy, but it sure makes for a gripping tale, right? Now, are you ready to fall head over heels with what I like to call a “Hallmark movie’s steamier cousin”? If your heart does a little dance for grumpy yet irresistibly sweet and sexy book boyfriends, and holiday rom-coms with second chances sprinkled in, then honey, this romantic comedy is tailor-made for you. Last year, my runaway groom dashed my dreams and almost bankrupted our family bakery, but this year, things are going to change. I've got a to-do list as long as Ryan Sawyer's—my high school sweetheart's—broad shoulders, and I'm determined to tick off every item before the New Year's Eve ball drops. Speaking of Ryan, he's back in town. His grin still makes my heart race, but I refuse to let it affect me. He didn't stick around after high school, so why should he now? But, as fate would have it, I accidentally let slip on national TV that he's helping me with my holiday to-do list. Let the drama begin! Are you ready for a second chance holiday romcom that's as steamy as it is sweet, and as real as it is romantic? Do you love small-town romance with relatable characters and a true-to-life OCD representation? Then join me on this wild ride in "The Leftover Bride", now available on Google Play Books. Experience love, heartbreak, and the power of second chances in this standalone novel that's perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn, Emily Henry, and Lauren Landish. And remember, there's no such thing as cliffhangers in real life, so rest assured, there won't be any in this book either. Happy reading!
