Books like Overnight Wife by Mollie Molay

On her wedding night, Arden Crandall abandons a bustling ceremony and boards a solo honeymoon flight, only to find herself stranded in a blizzard‑plagued New York airport. Surrounded by a wet gown, wilted bouquet, and a host of strangers, Arden encounters Luke McCauley—a rugged, sensual man with a chain‑bound briefcase and striking dark eyes. Luke has been warned as trouble by Arden’s minister father, yet he offers to serve as her stand‑in groom. Arden initially resists, hoping to keep her feelings in check, but the storm and their shared isolation gradually blur the lines between obligation and desire. Then, as the airport announces a midnight closure, the two must confront what they truly want as the holiday approaches. Overnight Wife blends holiday charm with a simmering romance, charting when an unforeseen crisis can turn a lonely holiday into an intimate adventure.
