Katie Fisher goes to Dallas to tell Nadia and Madge the truth. No engagement, no husband and no wedding dress designed for her. But that isn’t what happens. The person that helps her most is a Maverick’s basketball player named Brady James.

There is humor, secrets and hope in this book. Along with grace of God staying with Katie all along, she enters a fairy tale life. This is also a new series by Janice Thompson, A Brides with Style Novel.  I bet you can’t put the book down until it’s finished.
