The Wedding DressThe Millennial Inheritance Club Series – Book 1 of 5 – Coming in 2026


When accountant, Nicole Bentley, inherits her great-aunt’s vintage bridal shop in Mystic, Connecticut, she’s pulled out of spreadsheets and into bustle hooks and impossible timelines. Thrust into fittings and late nights, Nicole fumbles through the work and slowly begins to accept help from unexpected places. Wedding photographer, Peter Bishop, becomes an ally, and Nicole discovers that running The Wedding Dress can mean running toward the thing she’s been avoiding—love and a future she never planned for.

The Wedding Dress is a story with a heartfelt romance at its core. Perfect for readers who love found family, second chances, and characters that feel like friends.
