Press release Second chances get complicated: The Groom That Got Away brings sparks, chaos, and charm to Sally Clements' dp debut December 1, 2025
He broke her sister’s heart… now he might steal hers. A fun, flirty romcom where old mistakes, new sparks and one very risky wedding collide.
London, December 2025 – dp books is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of The Groom That Got Away, the irresistibly funny and heartfelt first novel in The Logan Brothers series by beloved romance author Sally Clements – now available for pre-order.
Seven years ago, Matthew Logan did the unthinkable – he left April’s sister at the altar. April has hated him ever since, and with June now preparing to marry someone new, April is determined that nothing will ruin her sister’s big day again. The dress is stitched, the cake is ready, and April is on full wedding-alert.
But June has other ideas. She’s invited Matthew as her “something old”… and suddenly April is forced into close proximity with the one man she’s vowed never to trust.
And that’s when the sparks start to fly.
With old wounds resurfacing and chemistry igniting at the worst possible moment, April must decide whether Matthew is still the man who broke her family—or someone worth taking a chance on. If love deserves a second chance, does he?
Bursting with humour, heart, and sizzling romantic tension, The Groom That Got Away launches readers into The Logan Brothers series with a story of messy families, unexpected attraction and the courage it takes to forgive.
Sally Clements writes warm, witty romances about women on the cusp of change – funny, brave heroines who tackle life’s chaos with style, and charismatic heroes who don’t realise what’s missing until the right woman walks in. Sally’s novels are filled with tight-knit families, found communities, and the heartfelt charm that has made her a reader favourite. She lives in the Irish countryside, writing either outdoors under an unreliable sun or tucked inside with her playlist on, falling in love with the worlds she creates.
The Groom That Got Away is available now for pre-order on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited, official release comes on 18th December 2025. We can't wait for you to fall in love!
