Agnes Treading Water - Charlotte French

She said ‘yes’

Will she say 'I do’ … or find her (cold) feet?

Thanks to her late mother’s trust fund, small-town Swede Agnes Andersson is financially secure. Emotionally? Not so much. After having just returned from a trip to Australia and a holiday romance turned disaster, Agnes is disillusioned.

To mend her broken heart, find a family, and beat her loneliness, she’s determined to marry her on-and-off man, Thomas. At least he’s honest.

However, as the ceremony looms, Agnes discovers she’s not the only one with secrets. The bride doesn’t know the groom as well as she thinks. Like surging water, doubt begins to rise. Caught between the safe harbour she’s always wanted and uncharted waters, can Agnes get to the bottom of his lies and her truth before she takes the proverbial plunge?
