Unplanned
(2026)(The sixth book in the Songbird Ridge: A Year in the Life series)
A novel by Abby Knox
Becca
This wedding is going to be the event of the century in Songbird Ridge, according to my mother. She should know; she's been planning this for a year and she's cut all the checks to make it possible. The string quartet, the dresses, the flowers, the caterer. It's all lining up to be an unforgettable June wedding. So why do I feel like something is ... off?
Well, let's see. There's the fact that this wedding is everything my mother has wanted, and I've had little to no input. Then there's the over-the-top enthusiasm from everyone, who, up until now, had labeled Nico as "the boy from the wrong side of the tracks." And then, there's the teeny, tiny secret that I'm hiding from everyone, and if it gets out, my family will turn on the both of us.
Nico
As our wedding date nears, Becca's at her breaking point. I hate seeing her like this. On the surface, everything is set for the perfect wedding. But underneath, something is brewing. I know that all it will take is for me to look into Becca's eyes and say, "We don't have to do any of this," and she'd blow the whole thing up. Being rebellious with her was fun back in the day, but now that her family has finally accepted me as an equal, the last thing I want is to sow familial discord. On the other hand, I want my bride to be happy on our big day. If anyone is going to pull the plug, it's got to be Becca's idea. And I'll be there, supporting her, when it's all over but the shouting.
