The Parent Trip: Seasons of Love - Summer
(2026)(A book in the Seasons of Love series)
A novel by Brenda Gayle
She never expected to see her ex again. But at their son's wedding, he's father of the bride!
For the mother of the groom, a destination wedding at a ritzy resort should be a joyful occasion, but Penny Malloy doubts her heart will survive the weekend. Her ex-husband is the stepfather of the bride.
As soon as she sees David Parker again, she realizes she loves him as much as she ever did. What started as a fairy tale romance—when twelve-year-old David kissed Penny on the playground—has turned into a farcical soap opera: a son who doesn’t know his father’s identity and divorced parents pretending to be strangers.
But it’s another kiss that reminds them of all they had…and the promise of what could be. Can David and Penny face the past together and declare their feelings? Or are they twenty-four years too late?
A version of this story was previously published as Father of the Bride? in The Wild Rose Press anthology Dearly Beloved.
Genre: General Fiction
