The Wedding Party Train by Ellen Gangsloot

Length: 16,400 words

Recent college graduate Sandy Sizemore arrives at an exclusive lakeside resort for what should be the opportunity of a lifetime as assistant to a luxury wedding planner. Professional, ambitious, and determined to impress, she focuses on orchestrating a flawless celebration for the wealthy groom and his bride. Yet when the charismatic best man uncovers a carefully guarded secret from her private life, everything shifts.

The groom’s tight-knit circle of ten confident, athletic friends senses her hidden vulnerability and decides to test the boundaries of her deepest yearnings. What begins as charged glances and subtle flirtation rapidly escalates into an intense weekend of seduction and control that leaves Sandy torn between her respectable ambitions and an overwhelming pull toward complete surrender.

As the elegant rehearsal dinners and lavish ceremonies unfold around her, Sandy struggles with growing emotional conflict, battling shame, exhilaration, and the fear that one impulsive decision could unravel the future she has worked so hard to build. With each passing hour the tension mounts, forcing her to confront whether she can return to her old life or if the powerful men who have awakened her true desires will claim far more than just the weekend.
