Everything But… Series

Every Hungarian grandma knows that words have power. Nana Salo never meant the words she said in anger to become a family curse, but that’s just what happened. Her granddaughter Vancy is just the newest victim. Vancy’s fiance has left her at the altar, and now the press is after a hot grandma-curses-granddaughter’s-wedding story. Vancy doesn’t believe in the Salo Family Wedding Curse, but when her groom ditches her and the press is hot on her heels, she’s not quite so sure anymore. She’s hiding out with Matt Wilde, owner of the Everything Wilde landscaping business, helping out with his two newly-inherited nephews as she figures out what to do. Matt doesn’t believe in curses either, but he seems cursed with thoughts of Vancy Salo that he just can’t seem to shake. A hoard of reporters, a guilty grandma, a gaggle of other family members, and two four-year-olds prone to stealing hearts and wreaking havoc: it’s not exactly a classic situation for falling in love…but that’s just what may be happening for Vancy and Matt.

Every Hungarian Grandma knows that words have power. But Nana Salo never meant the words she said in anger to become a family curse, but that’s just what happened. She thought she had a chance of undoing it at her granddaughter’s wedding, but when things went awry, she pinned her hopes on her grandson, Noah’s wedding. Noah’s fiancée called things off at the stag, but when his ex’s younger stepsister, and long-time friend Callie, tries to cheer him up, Noah finds the lines between friendship and love blurring. A shared non-honeymoon, some secret dating, and a crazy Hungarian family might not sound like the normal way to start a relationship, but Callie and Noah learn that love tends to find its own way.

For years, Nana Vancy Bashalde Salo believed that she’d cursed her own family with bad weddings. Now that the curse is broken, she’s bored. Her best friends, the Silver Bells, convince her to try her hand at matchmaking. And Nana has just the person in mind: Salo Construction’s new office manager, Eve Allen. Eve is coming out of a bad relationship and longs for a little quiet and order. That’s definitely not in the cards with Nana Vancy around. And it’s even less possible when Nana tries to hook her up with TC Potter, a boy who broke her heart in kindergarten when he told her there was no Santa Claus, and then broke it again in ninth grade when he stood her up for a dance. Eve’s heart is still healing from her last bad relationship she doesn’t need it broken by TC for a third time. Freelance writer TC Potter makes his living writing articles about Every American Man. His life was pretty much perfect until he was named one of America’s most eligible bachelors last year. He’s spent the last twelve months hiding out from women who’d like to de-bachelor him. Now he’s finally met someone he’d really like to date, but Eve isn’t interested. Maybe with a Hungarian grandmother’s help, and a little Christmas magic, he can convince her that they have something too special to ignore.
