Exclusive Excerpt

In the marquee, the reception appears to be approaching scenes last seen at the fall of the Roman Empire. A few hours ago, it had been a beautiful sight, with flowers scenting the air and sunlight sparkling on the crystal and china. Now, the warm wood of the floor is dusty and dirty, and the long sheer curtains flap limply in the summer breeze.

I thread my way through the thinning crowds, wincing at the sight of a man passed out, his head resting on huge carved ice blocks that were supposed to bring to mind the set of Frozen, which is the bride’s favourite film. The scene is beginning to look more like Dumb and Dumber, so I grab the bloke’s shoulders and lean him against the trestle table. He offers me a bleary and rather damp smile and goes straight back to sleep.

I spot Grant, my boss’s nephew. He’s been shadowing me for work experience while on holiday from uni. He’s leaning against the bar, dodging a drunken couple trying and failing to tango.

As I make my way over to him, I pick up a pair of Louboutin shoes from the detritus on the floor and edge past one of the bridesmaids, who seems to be set on attaining full intercourse with another guest while sitting at a table. Picking up a dinner plate and a pair of black lacy knickers, I put them both on the plate, and keep going.

It takes two more stops to get to Grant, and by then, I’ve collected two lacy bras, a designer clutch bag, and three more pairs of knickers. It’s like a wedding version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”. “Everything okay?” I ask him.

He glances at the items in my hand. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” he breathes reverently. “Someone was having sex under a table an hour ago.”

“Ah, they must have been the more modest members of the group. That activity has gone much more mainstream now.”

Confetti Hitched, Book 1

Joe Bagshaw doesn’t believe in love or marriage anymore, which is rather a hindrance for a wedding planner.

His own marriage was a whirlwind affair that ended before the ink could dry on the wedding certificate. Nevertheless, even with his divorce pending, he’s getting by. Or at least he was until he finds himself snowed in at a remote Scottish hotel with the wedding party from hell, a terrible ABBA tribute band, and his soon-to-be ex-husband.

Lachlan has missed Joe from the second his husband walked away. He wants Joe back and is prepared to do anything to get him. Being snowed in together seems to offer the chance Lachlan needs, but does he have what it takes to get Joe to trust in love and their marriage again?

From bestselling author Lily Morton, comes a romantic comedy about love, matrimony, and the best of second chances.

This is the first book in the Confetti Hitched series.
