Prudence (Balfe Family #1) by L.H. Cosway Release Date: September 30, 2025 About Prudence Derek Balfe proposed to Milly O'Shea at twenty. She turned him down and left to build a career and a future that didn't include him.

Alice Yates is the hired “homemaker” for the Morrisons, an affluent couple in Minneapolis. For Alice, it’s a dream job to dress up like a 1950s housewife and read romance novels to Mr. Morrison before his afternoon nap. But when the Morrisons’ only daughter returns home for the summer with her fiancé, Alice comes face- to-face with her shattered past—the only threat to her perfect life.

Bitter Burn (Lyonesse #3) by Sierra Simone Release Date: September 30, 2025 About Bitter Burn I think it’s important that you know this about me, that you understand this: I’m not sorry. I’d do it again. After my husband died eight years ago, I made vengeance my only purpose, my religion, my destiny. But to get to my enemy, I had to make myself like him. He had a kingdom of secrets? Then I would make an empire. He had blood on his hands? Then I would bathe in it. But Tristan and Isolde changed everything. I hadn’t counted on wanting them, needing them; I hadn’t counted on how it felt to watch the two of them fall in love. I’d thought I had everything under control—I’d thought I was safe from my own long-dead heart. I’d never imagined that the wronged husband, the jealous king from my childhood fairy tales, would be played by none other than me. It no longer matters what I used to believe. My enemy is ready to finish the game, and for the first time in eight years, I have...

We do the behind-the-scenes stuff with the real ranch and have strict orders to stay away from the guests, the staff, and especially the boss’s daughters.
