Beth Kozera promised her best friend, Carrie Hansen, that she would stay and manage Stratton House in Carrie's absence. How she regrets that promise! Because Beth has no idea how to manage an event venue. Since when did brides become so demanding and grooms so lecherous? Plus, Beth can't boil water, let alone supervise a sit-down dinner for 200 guests every weekend. Thank goodness for Joshua. Or, at least, she thinks. But when Beth offers his mom a job managing the kitchen, Josh shows his patriarchal colors. So much for tall, dark and haughty. Now, her former fiance, Charles Mercer IV, is pressuring Beth to let him back into her life. Apparently the pregnant girlfriend Charlie left Beth for wasn't carrying his baby, and Charlie is convinced if he can restart a romance with Beth, he can somehow mend his life. All Beth wants to do is keep her promise to Carrie. But can every promise be kept?
