Dear Readers,

Some stories start as a spark — a single what if that refuses to fade. For me, If You Say I Do wasn’t just an idea. It was a story that insisted on being told.

From the first page, I knew this book would be something special — not just a love story, but a journey about timing, courage, and finding home in unexpected places. If You Say I Do is set in Maple Springs, Vermont — a small, picture-perfect town where everyone knows your name and the rumor mill runs faster than the morning coffee.

This story follows two best friends, Tori Bennett and Brady Whitaker, partners in their event planning business, who accidentally become the town’s biggest headline after a misunderstanding turns into a fake engagement. What starts as damage control soon becomes something much deeper — a slow, emotional awakening between two people who have been right for each other all along.

It’s a story full of laughter, small-town charm, autumn leaves, and a love that sneaks up quietly — the kind that doesn’t explode, but unfolds like a sunrise. Writing it made me laugh, cry, and rediscover why I fell in love with storytelling in the first place.

I wrote this novel for everyone who believes in second chances, in love after loss, and in finding forever when you least expect it. It’s about friendship, faith, and that delicate line between professional and personal — and what happens when you finally cross it.

I look forward to sharing this story with you soon. If You Say I Do is coming your way — and I promise, it’s filled with heart, humor, and all the emotion that makes love stories timeless.

Thank you for taking this journey with me, for cheering on my stories, and for believing in stories that feel like home.

With warmth and gratitude,

Luis
