One bride prepares for the Mackinac wedding of her dreams, while another Mackinac bride mourns the wedding that never was. It's autumn on Mackinac Island — and love is never hard to come by, even if it's where you least expect it to be.

Elise has had two of the most topsy-turvy years of her life. Now, she's weeks away from marrying Wayne, her second chance at love after her ex's affair.

As Elise, Penny, Cindy, Tracey, Emma, and Megan prepare for the big wedding, they stumble into familiar Mackinac Island characters, including the whip-smart owner of The Pink Pony Bar and Grill, Marcy.

Marcy has always been a fixture on the island. With her father now in a nursing home full-time, Marcy owns and operates the bar mostly by herself, keeping an eye on the many islanders who come by for drinks and good conversation. Marcy knows the ins-and-outs of all the Mackinac Island gossip — but is generally grateful to stay out of it.

In fact, Marcy has had a bit too much of her own drama over the years and is frankly done with it. At twenty-one, the love of her life left her at the altar, which messed her up so badly that she never even considered falling in love again — not even with her very best friend in the world, Kurt (who has been by her side through thick and thin).

When Elise discovers Marcy's deep-held secret about being left at the altar, Elise strikes out to discover the truth behind what really happened on that fateful day on Mackinac Island. What she learns shocks her to the core — and makes her understand and appreciate her own life and her own love that much more.

Dive in for book five of Secrets of Mackinac Island, that gem of an island between the southern and northern peninsulas of Michigan, where secrets have been kept for the previous forty years.
