How to Hide in Plain Sight

Summary

UNBREAKABLE BONDS OF FAMILY AND LOVE ARE EXPLORED IN THIS BRILLIANTLY TENDER STORY FROM THE AUTHOR OF GUY’S GIRL


----


On the day she arrives in Canada for her older brother’s wedding, Eliot Beck hasn’t seen her family in three years.


Eliot adores her wacky collection of siblings and in-laws, but there’s a reason she fled to Manhattan and buried herself in her work – and she’s not ready to share it with anyone.


Eliot thinks she’s prepared to survive the four-day wedding extravaganza – until she sees her best friend, Manuel, looking as handsome as ever. When they met as children, she felt like she’d found the missing half of her soul.


She tried so hard not to fall in love with him. . . but did anyway.


Manuel’s presence threatens to infiltrate the fortress Eliot has built around herself. If she isn’t careful, by the end of this wedding, the whole castle might come crumbling down. . .
