The Wedding Toast
About this ebook
One of the pilots has his eye on the bridesmaid. Another is discovering that a six-year-old might just hold the key to his heart. And let’s just say a few other couples are about to find out that wedding magic is definitely contagious.
For Jacob, it’s the moment of a lifetime: a man who lost his parents too soon, finding himself surrounded by all the family he could ever have dreamed of, and a few more besides.
Becca’s Kansas roots meet Jacob’s Napa heritage as her warm, openhearted parents wrap him in the kind of love he lost too young. Chuck and Darlene bring their down-to-earth humor and wisdom, reminding everyone that real family is built on love, not blood. Elena and Walt, who’ve walked beside Jacob since the beginning, step forward in tender new ways, hinting at second chances of their own.
And then there’s little Zia—a spark of sunshine who crowns grandfathers, names kings, and steals every heart she meets—reminding Jacob and Becca of the future still to come. Friends fill the valley with laughter, and familiar faces gather to help the happy couple celebrate.
Set against the rolling vineyards of Napa, this is more than a wedding—it’s a gathering of family in every form. It’s time for Jacob and Becca to say “I do”… but not before Jacob pulls off one final surprise that will leave you smiling through tears.
Raise a glass, wipe away a happy tear, and join the Hamiltons for a celebration you’ll never forget.
The Wedding Toast promises the wedding you've been waiting for, plus romantic setups that'll keep you coming back for more.

About the author
Hi, I'm SJ, a coffee addict, lover of chocolate and drinker of good red wines. I'm a lost soul and a hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are necessary parts of who I am. Though perhaps not as necessary as coffee! I can drink coffee without writing, but I can't write without coffee.
I grew up loving romance novels, my first boyfriends were book boyfriends, but life intervened, as it tends to do, and I wandered down the paths of non fiction for many years. My life changed completely a couple of years ago and I returned to Romance to find my escape.
I write 'Sweet N Steamy' stories because to me there is enough angst and darkness in real life. My favorite romances are happy escapes with a focus on fun, friendships and happily-ever-afters, just like the ones I write.
These days I live in beautiful Montana, the last best place. If I'm not reading or writing you'll find me just down the road in the park - Yellowstone. I have deer, eagles and the occasional bear for company, and I like it that way :0)
