NOT THAT KIND OF PROPOSAL
Coming Summer 2026
From the internationally bestselling author of Any Trope but You comes an enemies-to-lovers rom-com about a hopeless romantic wedding planner and the cynical divorce lawyer forced to help her plan her ex’s wedding.
Gracie Holland can plan the perfect Happily Ever After—unless it’s her own. After a soul-flattening breakup, she’s rebuilt her life planning weddings at Larkwood—an ivy-covered Rhode Island estate where she lives in the staff cottage (and only occasionally cries herself into a blanket burrito). But when her beloved boss passes away and leaves the estate to her grandson, Gracie suddenly finds herself pitted against a love-allergic divorce lawyer determined to sell Larkwood by summer’s end—even if it means crushing his grandmother’s legacy and everyone’s jobs beneath his polished wingtips.
As someone who cleans up romantic disasters for a living, Jude Larkwood has no intention of keeping the estate as a wedding venue, no matter how much he loved his Nana. Selling it is critical for reasons he can’t discuss, but there’s just one problem: his Nana inexplicably left the guest cottage to the estate’s maddeningly romantic wedding planner, who has somehow turned his mind into her permanent residence.
So, when Gracie proposes that he help her plan her ex’s shotgun wedding to prove Larkwood is worth saving, he agrees—on one condition. If she fails to convince him by the big day, she’ll sell him her cottage
But as bickering and cake tastings turn into late-night confessions, Gracie and Jude find themselves breaking every vow not to fall for each other. After all, opposites may attract—but can a hopeless romantic and a professional cynic really say “I do” to their own love story?
