Every Beat of My Heart: A Wedding Novella Full of Joy, Family, and Forever Love

What happens after “I do”? In Bella Andre’s world, the answer is everything.

In Every Beat of My Heart, Bella Andre gifts longtime fans of The Sullivans a romantic, emotional novella that celebrates what comes after happily ever after. While most love stories end at the wedding, this one begins there—giving us a tender, joyful, and intimate look at what it means to commit your whole heart to someone again and again.

For readers who believe the best romances are the ones that continue to grow, this novella is a warm hug—familiar, heartfelt, and beautifully written. In a world where stories often focus on the chase, Every Beat of My Heart reminds us why it’s just as powerful to witness the love that’s already rooted, steady, and real.

A long-awaited wedding. A family overflowing with love. 

And a celebration of everything that matters most.

At the heart of this story are Smith Sullivan and Valentina Landon, one of the most beloved couples in Bella Andre’s world. Their journey to love has already been told, but this novella gives fans something even sweeter—their wedding day. And as you might expect from a Sullivan event, it’s full of laughter, emotion, surprises, and more than a few happy tears.

Smith, the Hollywood heartthrob with a soul-deep need for privacy and meaning, has never been more certain of anything than his love for Valentina. She, in turn, has never doubted the quiet strength of their bond—though walking down the aisle in front of a sprawling, passionate family like the Sullivans doesn’t come without a few nerves.

As the family gathers and the big day unfolds, the novella weaves together sweet flashbacks, family reunions, and those small, emotionally rich moments that make weddings unforgettable. It’s not just a celebration of two people—it’s a tribute to everything that’s made their love story endure.
