She'd left Australia to be with Barry—the man who had swept her off her virtual feet. Now, wearing a wedding dress, she's alone on Main Street in small-town Wisconsin, and things aren't working out exactly as planned….
In town for his annual family visit, Marc Olsen had never seen a bride quite like Matilda—staring into a storefront window, holding a tottering wedding cake and looking desperately in need of a groom. He doesn't have many warm feelings for his hometown, but meeting Matilda just as she discovers she's been scammed by her online "fiancé" stirs something in him.
Matilda is not the kind of woman Marc imagined himself with, and Marc is anything but the romantic hero that Matilda has always dreamed of. But as unlikely circumstances throw them together, can they let go of their misconceptions and risk their hearts for love?

Dear Reader,
I'm so excited to introduce you toBoomerang Bride! This story grew out of a collision of ideas sparked by momentsin time starting with me riding a ski-lift on my own. As I gazed out at theAustralian snow gums and the pristine snow, an image of a bride holding awedding cake and staring into a shop window pinged into my mind. I had no cluewhy and the image wouldn't budge.
Two days later, I heard a TV snippet abouta conman scamming a European heiress and I got an email from a man in Nigeriatelling me I had won the lottery.
Three weeks after that I heard the song,Bridal Train by The Waifs; the story of their grandmother who married a USsailor during WW2. At the end of the war, the US navy commissioned a train tocollect all the Australian war brides from around the country and gathered themall in Sydney before they set sail for the US.It got me thinking...what if you'd grown up hearing the great romanticadventure-cum-love story of your grandmother and your mother had her own as well.Stories like that become family folk law and set up an expectation.
Suddenly I had a reason for my heroine,Matilda, to be standing in an ancient wedding dress, holding a cake and staringinto an empty shop window ready for her great adventure. Of course absolutely nothinggoes to plan!
I've lived in Wisconsin and everycross-cultural confusion that happens to Matilda, happened to me! AlthoughAustralians and Americans speak English, it often feels like we're speaking adifferent language which leads to some very funny misunderstandings.
I hope you enjoy Boomerang Bride. If you'dlike to hear the song, Bridal Train and see photos of the real towns thatinspired Hobin, then head over to my website at fionalowe.com.
