Books like Once Smitten, Twice Shy by Lori Wilde
Tish Gallagher’s wedding‑videography business is on the brink of collapse. After spending her last dollars on a pricey pair of shoes, she turns to a fabled Irish wedding veil and makes a wish to rid herself of debt. The wish brings her back into the orbit of Shane Tremont, her former husband and now a secret‑service agent. Their chemistry is undeniable, yet their past clashes keep them at arm’s length. When an opportunity arises to film the wedding of the bride’s daughter, Tish sees a chance to turn her fortunes around—but Shane is the groom, and promises already made linger in the air. As old magic and newer hopes collide, Tish must decide if love can once again bloom, or if she will remain once smitten, twice shy.
