"You are cordially invited..." Four words that spark the fear of God into any gently bred, single southern woman. When Savannah Guthry receives an invitation to her cousin's wedding back home in Charleston, South Carolina, her first thoughts aren't of flowers and dresses. Instead, she's reminded of the groom: her first love and the reason she ended up at a college 500 miles away from home. Determined to show up and dazzle not only her ex but her spoiled cousin too, Savannah allows her friends to set her up on a series of dates looking for Mr. Right. Wrapped up in her memories of the past and the drama of the present, Savannah doesn't recognize a pattern in the seemingly random events that occur around her. There is a dangerous threat looming in the shadows, and if she's not careful, she might lose more than Mr. Right. **This book is a New Adult Romantic Suspense.
