Christi Barth

The Aisle Bound novels turn on a circle of friends working the Chicago wedding trade, among them a planner, a florist and a cake baker. Friends to Lovers is the third: Daphne kisses the hotel manager Gib in a blacked-out ballroom, and when the lights come back he has no idea who it was. A Matchless Romance is the fourth. Back to Us closes a separate trilogy, Shore Secrets. Christi Barth took a postgraduate degree in vocal performance and sang professionally before moving into wedding planning, which is the ground both series stand on. She writes contemporary romance, has reached the USA Today bestseller list, served as president of Maryland Romance Writers, and lives in Maryland with her husband.
