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."

For the past twenty years, Liv and Eliot Goldenhorn have run In Love in New York, Brooklyn’s beloved wedding-planning business. When Eliot dies unexpectedly, he even more unexpectedly leaves half of the business to his younger, blonder girlfriend, Savannah. Liv and Savannah are not a match made in heaven, to say the least. But what starts as a personal and professional nightmare transforms into something even savvy, cynical Liv Goldenhorn couldn’t begin to imagine.

It Had to Be You cleverly unites Liv, Savannah, and couples as diverse and unique as New York City itself, in a joyous Love-Actually-style braided narrative. The result is 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.
