She trusted him with everything—except her heart… until one magical dress revealed what was there all along.
Kenzie MacLellan never believed in magic—especially not the kind that came wrapped in lace and tradition. But when her late Gran’s mysterious wedding dress transformed her sister’s life, Kenzie finds herself reluctantly facing the same legacy: a letter, a prophecy, and one look in the mirror that shakes her to the core.
Independent to a fault, Kenzie is content running her fitness center and living life on her own terms in their quiet Vermont town. With her best friend Robbie Burns as her ever-reliable “plus one,” she’s never needed romance—until the dress suggests something, or someone, she never saw coming.
Robbie has spent years loving Kenzie from the sidelines, silently playing the role of friend, confidant, and stand-in boyfriend whenever she needed him. But when their annual hiking trip takes an unexpected turn, the moment he catches her—literally—might just be the moment that changes everything.
As Kenzie’s guard begins to fall, so does the line between friendship and something far deeper. With her heart torn between fear and hope, Kenzie must decide: Will she risk their unbreakable bond for a love that could last forever? Or will she let the magic slip away, along with her one true chance at happiness?
Award winning author Lucinda Race writes about family, love and happily ever afters.
Award-winning author Lucinda Race is a lifelong fan of romantic fiction. As a young girl, she spent hours reading romance novels and getting lost in the hope they represent. While her friends dreamed of becoming doctors and engineers, her dreams were to become a writer—a romance novelist.
As life twisted and turned, she found herself writing nonfiction but longed to turn to her true passion. After developing the storyline for The Loudon Series, it was time to start living her dream. Her fingers practically fly over computer keys as she weaves stories about strong women and the men who love them.
Lucinda lives with her husband and their two little dogs, a miniature long hair dachshund and a shitzu mix rescue, in the rolling hills of western Massachusetts. When she's not at her day job, she’s immersed in her fictional worlds. And if she’s not writing romance novels, she’s reading everything she can get her hands on. It’s too bad her husband doesn’t cook, but a very good thing he loves takeout.
