Wasp's Nest - by Kat Stoddard (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Everyone's ready for the wedding weekend: the groom, the bride, and her ex-husband. A modern retelling of The Philadelphia Story, Wasp's Nest is a witty, gripping love triangle unfolding over the course of seven chaotic days at a Cape Cod wedding.

Tess wants nothing more than for her upcoming society wedding to overshadow the failure of her first marriage. Her new fiancé, Warren, an old family friend and soon-to-be state senator, is nothing like her first husband, working-class painter Peter. Warren is steady, while Peter was a passionate crash-and-burn, and a chapter of her life that Tess has laid to rest.

Peter hasn't seen Tess in five years, so he's shocked when he receives an invitation to her wedding. But he's moved on too. And it wouldn't hurt to prove it by showing up with a handsome younger man--recent acquaintance Mitch--either. Mitch, a waiter and aspiring writer, is intrigued by Peter and the exclusive, Waspy world the wedding provides. What he's not bargained for is developing serious feelings for both Peter and Peter's ex--Tess, the bride. But Peter and Tess have complex desires of their own, and Mitch is dangerously close to uncovering them.

Wasp's Nest is a fast-paced, humorous, and heartfelt exploration of the shape of our affections. Real love triangles connect on all sides.
