“How did you…?”
“I told you, we have a psychic connection.”
I stared at her.
“Or I heard you guys talking and chose my moment to announce my presence.”
I laughed and my head fell back and hit something solid at the same time I felt strong arms wrap around my waist. “What’s so funny?” Holden leaned down and asked in my ear.
“Molly spied on us. She knows.”
“Yep. And I’m going to tell everyone it’s a shotgun wedding,” she said flatly.
“Shh!” I didn’t need those rumors being spread.
I looked up at Holden who was smiling from ear to ear, clearly amused by my sister’s threat. He kissed my nose. “I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
I rested my head back against his chest and Molly leaned over to me and whispered. “You found your lobster.”
More tears filled my eyes. “Yep. I did.”
And I was never going to let him go.

Exes and weddings don’t mix.
I’d never been a big fan of weddings. So when my first love, who I hadn’t seen in ten years since she cheated on me with and married my best friend, slid into the seat beside me and announced that she was getting a divorce just before the bride walked down the aisle, I took it as a bad omen and almost got up and left. I should have.
I spent the entire wedding fielding questions about my ex being there and how I felt about it. I was going to leave before the first dance but then I saw a woman that made me forget everything, including where I was…so I stuck around.

Heartbreak and alcohol don’t mix.
I’ve always loved weddings. So when I showed up unannounced at my grandma’s house after finding out my live-in boyfriend, who was also my on-screen husband in the soap opera we both starred in, was a cheating pig and she asked me to be her plus one, I figured it might cheer me up to see true love. I was wrong.
I spent the entire wedding fielding questions about the show and my soon-to-be ex, which is why I may have had one too many cocktails before the first dance. I was about to tell my grandma that I wasn’t feeling well and needed to go when I saw a man that made me forget any other men on the planet even existed…I figured one more drink couldn’t hurt.

A Note From Melanie and Shawna
Hi!
Shawna here (1/2 of the sister writing duo Melanie Shawn)! Melanie and I wanted to say thanks for taking a trip to Wishing Well, Texas. We hope you enjoyed Olivia’s eternal optimism and Holden’s grumpiness. These two had a looongggg road to their HEA but we think it was worth it. We’re now gearing up for the final Wishing Well book Kissing Beau, coming to you December 27th.
Melanie and I spend most of our time writing or cuddling with our dogs (shout out to Romeo and Pepper!), but we also love to listen to music, binge-watch TV shows, watch our favorite YouTubers and of course read. We also LOVE to get to know our readers and the best way to do that is virtually. So if you’d like to get to know us online, here are some places we hang out. Make sure to say HI when you connect and tell us something about yourself.

About the Author
Melanie Shawn is the writing team of sister duo Melanie and Shawna. Originally from Northern California, they both migrated south and now call So Cal their home.
Growing up, Melanie constantly had her head in a book and was always working on short stories, manuscripts, plays and poetry. After graduating magna cum laude from Pepperdine University, she went on to teach grades 2nd through 8th for five years. She now spends her days writing and taking care of her furry baby, a Lhasa Apso named Hercules. In her free time, her favorite activity is to curl up on the couch with that stubborn, funny mutt and binge-watch cable TV shows on DVD (preferably of at least eight seasons in length – a girl’s gotta have her standards!).
Shawna always loved romance in any form – movie, song or literary. If it was a love story with a happy ending, Shawna was all about
it! She proudly acknowledges that she is a romanceaholic. Her days are jam-packed with writing, being a wife, mom aka referee of two teens, and indulging in her second passion (dance!) as a Zumba instructor. In the little free time she has, she joins Melanie in marathon-watching DVDs of their favorite TV programs.
They have joined forces to create a world where True Love and Happily Ever After always has a Sexy Twist!
