Discover The Secrets For Successful Party Planning That Teach You How to Organize The Best Parties Every Time...Even As A Beginner! Just Follow The Instructions And You'll Be Organizing Events Like A Pro In No Time! Are you ready to get started on your journey to becoming a skilled party or event organizer? Yes? Then let's get started! All too often a party planner will rush right out, buy the first invitations and decorations they see at the store, grab any kind of drinks and jump right into organizing an important function without even thinking about what they really need. Sadly, the experience is usually less than positive and the party ends up a flop with nothing to show for all that effort. The flowers end up in the bin and the dream of hosting a fabulous party disappears forever. Another scenario that occurs frequently is taking party planning advice from a buddy or acquaintance presenting herself as a self-proclaimed "expert party planner." You know the type.

Now Rose must prove where her loyalties lie, so she offers Rayce a deal—if he helps her rescue the other girls, she'll tell him all the Garden's secrets. Well, almost all. Because there’s one secret she’s been keeping these seven years...and she’ll take it to the grave.
