She discovered her fiance with her cousin thirty minutes before the ceremony. Her solution? Marry someone else.
Grace Holloway had planned the perfect wedding. What she had not planned for was finding Daniel in a hotel suite with her cousin Serena, with a hundred and thirty guests already seated below and the string quartet warming up.
She had two choices: become the woman everyone pitied, or take control of the worst morning of her life.
She chose Ethan Bale.
A private equity executive in town on business, Ethan is not riding to her rescue. He has reasons of his own for saying yes, reasons he does not volunteer immediately. What begins as a reckless act of damage control becomes a legally binding marriage, a shared flat above a bakery, and the slow, inconvenient realization that the stranger at her wedding might be the most honest person she has ever known.
But when Grace discovers the hidden reason behind Ethan's agreement, the fragile trust they have been building is threatened. Can a marriage built on impulse and circumstance become something real?

Tracy Cowell writes contemporary romance with an emphasis on emotional truth, complex characters, and the particular kind of love that grows in unexpected places. She is drawn to stories about people who face impossible situations with grace and grit, and who find their way to genuine connection not in spite of those situations but because of them.
The Stranger at My Wedding is her most personal exploration yet of what happens when the life we planned gives way to the life we did not see coming. Tracy lives with two cats and an unreasonably large collection of fountain pens and believes, firmly, that a well-timed cup of tea can resolve most things.
She is currently working on her next novel.
