Billionaire's Barefoot Bride. The Worthingtons, #28

A bride forsaken at the altar. An off-course veteran avoiding his family. A ghost with an uncanny sense of predicting impending storms. Not to mention the hurricane. Isla Denton's fiancé grew increasingly distant. For one, he actively avoided her family. Second, maybe she should have taken into account the little things. she liked spending time at the beach and he liked. well. working. It should have come as no real surprise that he left her standing at the altar.
And then there was the ghost. Christopher Worthington, a veteran honorably discharged from the Air Force, his career over far earlier than expected, his future uncertain and not a little weary, thought it prudent to spend a few days.months maybe. in Galveston to avoid going home to his perfect family. When he meets Isla, Christopher finds another reason to stay in Galveston. And it was not the ghost. Will a guy trying to avoid his perfect family and a girl whose fiancé left her alone, barefoot on the beach, find a connection as a massive hurricane bears down on them? An emotional and touching sweet rom com taking the reader on a roller coaster ride of feelings. I just needed a minute to get my head right.
Maybe two minutes. Maybe a year. I took a sip of my drink, then set it aside. Then I saw her. A young lady strolling alone at the edge of the water, her bare feet in the damp sand, waving crashing over her ankles. Not anything unusual in itself. Except that she was wearing a wedding dress.
