Rivals Not Welcome
(2025)(The second book in the Knot Your Average Wedding Romcom series)
A novel by Carina Walsh
One night of passion. Two wedding planners at war. Let the sabotage begin.
When fiery, creative wedding planner Mari Landry is left to run Knot Your Average Wedding's Chicago expansion alone, landing a high-profile celebrity wedding could make her career. The only problem? The clients want her to compete against Hudson Gable—the infuriatingly perfect wedding planner she had a mind-blowing one-night stand with before discovering he was her professional nemesis.
Forced to collaborate for two months while sabotaging each other for the final contract, Mari and Hudson can't deny their explosive chemistry is as powerful as their mutual loathing. Working side by side in a shared office space only intensifies their rivalry—and rekindles the passion they're both desperate to forget.
But when Hudson sees an opportunity to finally win his parents' approval at Mari's expense, their professional rivalry becomes truly personal. Now he must decide what matters more: the validation he's always craved or the fiery woman who makes him feel truly alive.
Sparkling with wit, sizzling with tension, and deliciously romantic—Rivals Not Welcome delivers the perfect enemies-to-lovers wedding season escape.
