It Had to Be You

A modern NYC tale inspired by Love, Actually and set in the wedding business. This series of interconnected love stories pivots around Liv, a successful wedding planner who learns of her husband’s infidelity upon his recent death. As Liv struggles to recover from this blow and to understand why her husband left his share of the business to his mistress, we meet a constellation of couples all at pivotal points in their relationships, and who are somehow connected to Liv’s world of creating others’ happily ever afters, such as caterers, servers, clients, and entertainers. Clark’s well-developed characters overcome hardship, struggle with identity, and look for love or the chance to love again. The publisher calls this a "smart, modern love story that truly speaks to our times. Second chances, secret romance, and steamy soul mates are front and center in this sexy, tender, and utterly charming rom-com."
