One element in the history of a WIP setting is the "years without winter", a period of several years of abnormally high temperatures that happened several centuries before the current date of the setting. They caused droughts, desertification, crop failures, migration wars, and generally had a lot of ripple effects on the world before things came back to normal. I thought of it as a mirror of the historical "little ice age".

Any ideas for what could cause that temporary rise? It's a pre-industrial society with no overt magic that could do anything like that, so what natural causes could make global temperatures spike briefly and then return to normal?

Thanks.

FOUND - Happily Never After by Lynn Painter

So, this was for a book that I glimpsed at the library where I work. I set it aside, forgot about it, and someone else shelved it and I don't remember the author or title. But I do remember the synopsis, and hopefully someone recognises it.

FMC finds her fiance was cheating on her on her wedding day, so she arranges with MMC (who had something similar happen in his past) that he'll dramatically burst in and "ruin" her wedding in a way that exposes his cheating. After that, they somehow team up make a hobby out of this on behalf of vengeful spouses? (I don't know the details.) But of course, they get closer to each other than they meant too and things come to a head when they get hired by his ex-girlfriend.

Probably a pretty recent book. The cover was a bride and groom in the distance in the middle of the page, looking back appalled at the presumed main characters who were dressed thoroughly unsuitably for a wedding.

Thanks in advance!
