Synopsis:

BOOK 2 COMING 23 SEPTEMBER 2026

The Wedding Therapist 2: A Fake Fiancé Christmas Wedding with heart, humor and full of characteristic candle burn heat when once former childhood crush turned former fake fiancé Jayce, plans to marry a new girl with the help of his best girl for Christmas at Candle Inn.

She helps fix secret mysteries of the heart before ultimate wedding day catastrophe. But will her own stand in the way of getting the love she always wanted?

Natalee Sloan is back at doing the thing she loves most-extravagant wedding planning, after having sworn off love, leaving her old life and returning home to Kindle Creek. Though, this time it’s the Christmas season and on top of everything she is plagued with more questions than answers for closing in cryptic visions that continue to interrupt the life of her dreams all the while managing the craziness from demanding brides and grooms still gripping to their own buried skeletons, a roller coaster wedding season threatening to go off the rails, relationships teetering on the edge of collapse, and a frazzled race to the altar of a beloved best friend . 
Meanwhile, her returning ex-boyfriend’s shrouded intentions , Carter, come to light in the middle of a once sparring competition for Natalee’s affections from former childhood crush and best friend turned former fake fiancé Jayce who is now in love with a new woman, seeking their own matrimony and asking his friend Natalee, to help plan his Christmas wedding at Candle Inn during efforts to save a place on the verge of being sold. What else would she say?

Turns out that making the altar flawless is a lot easier than making it down the aisle especially when everything you thought you wanted hinges on two fated words.

Livian Blush is a storyteller at heart—both on the page and in real life. As a seasoned marriage counselor, she’s spent years helping couples navigate the complexities of love, trust, and connection. But when the day winds down, she trades in her therapy chair for a pen (or keyboard), crafting emotionally rich romances on the winter’s edge of a burgeoning love.

Her debut relationship book, Every Day, I Do: How to Rewrite Your Vows After an Affair, offers a heartfelt guide for couples looking to rebuild. Now, Livian is bringing her deep understanding of love into the world of romance fiction with her captivating new series, The Wedding Therapist — a serialized collection of slow-burn love stories with heart, heat, and healing.

When she’s not writing or working with clients, Livian enjoys dancing, reading, working out, and spending time with her family and friends near the beach. A believer in second chances and soul-deep love, she pours her passion for relationships into every story she tells. Through fiction and real-life insight, Livian invites readers to believe in love again — one exposed secret at a time.
