Francie Giancarlo dreamed about a big New York wedding her entire life. White gown, bridesmaids, flying rice...the works. Kent McCall was a small-town guy who made it into the big league. Baseball was his life--until he met Francie. He gave up his career to marry the woman of his dreams with the hope of settling down and raising a family. News headlines send the bride-to-be's jittery nerves over the edge. She flees Brooklyn and heads to a quaint inn where she's snowed in with her feelings...and without Kent. Not exactly how she pictured her Valentine's Day. Can Cupid save the day or will this couple become another sad news headline?
