SHHHhhhh...it's a secret!🤫
Will you guard this secret with your life?👀
Is Lady Danbury correct? Of course, she is. In my opinion, she’s the person who holds the most power in the Bridgerton series because of her ability to see, listen, and to keep secrets. I, myself, fancy keeping secrets about the happenings of the ton(and by that, I mean my chaotic life.) However, I could be persuaded to clue you in on a little one.
Just a small, teensy, tiny one.
It’s cover shaped👀🤭
But first…a little housekeeping!
For those of you who follow me on IG or Tiktok you know I’ve been promoting my upcoming release, Wine in a Million. It’s a fun and flirtatious romance with a fake engagement between Rosay, a pink-haired VP trying to prove to her family she’s got her shit together, and Graham, the grumpy new CEO who was challenged by the board to acquire six new clients before the end of the year. What better way to accomplish both goals than to attend Rosay’s sister’s Hill Country wedding that is sure to be ripe with networking opportunities?
My ARC form is open with Luna Literary for another week, so if you want a chance to review this story before it hits shelves, sign up here—> ARC form- Wine in a Million

Okay, first things first! Please DON’T share this with anyone yet! One of the perks of being a newsletter subscriber is that you guys get to see this first before I send it out to everyone else! I will be doing a countdown to reveal the next couple days, so please don’t send or share with anyone else!
This gorgeous cover was done by the amazing Lorena Cerqueria, @_loris_art on IG! She captured Graham and Rosay’s playfulness perfectly. I hope you guys love it as much as I do!

Did I finish and entire outline for my *hopefully* fall novella? Yes, I did. Have I started writing it yet? Nope. However, I am busy outlining ANOTHER story for a pitch for something else, so I promise I’ll get back to it.
Here’s a hint for what my *hopefully* fall novella has in it: 🍖
Snacks
It’s that timeeeeee!
I’m a Texan, and we love our street corn. Granted, usually you find the best street corn on the side of the road under a canopy, but I digress. Not everyone gets to experience that, so what’s the next best thing? Mexican Street Corn Dip! Try it out!

Every Thursday night, former country music heartthrob Luke Randall has to sing “Another Love Song.” God, he hates that song. But performing his lone hit at an interstate motel lounge is the only regular money he still has. Following another lackluster performance at the rock bottom of his career, Luke receives the opportunity of his dreams, opening for his childhood idol—90’s era Black country music star, JoJo Lane, who’s being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. But the concert is in Arcadia, Arkansas, the small hometown he swore he’d never see again. Going back means facing a painful past of abuse and neglect. It also means facing JoJo’s daughter, August Lane—the woman who wrote the lyrics he’s always claimed as his own.
August also hates that song. But she hates Luke Randall even more. When he shows up ten years too late to apologize for his betrayal, she isn’t interested in making amends. Instead, she threatens to expose his lies unless he co-writes a new song with her and performs it at the concert, something she hopes will launch her out of her mother's shadow and into a songwriting career of her own. Desperate to keep his secret, Luke agrees to put on the rogue performance, despite the risk of losing his shot at a new record deal.
When Luke’s guitar reunites with August’s soulful alto, neither can deny that the passionate bond they formed as teenagers is still there. As the concert nears, August will have to choose between an overdue public reckoning with the boy who betrayed her, or trusting the man he’s become to write a different love song.
Catching a woman breaking into his car was not the way Ace Jackson wanted to start his day. Finding out she's the new hire at his family's distillery is even worse. Sure, she said she mistook his car for her's, but there's something about Millie he doesn't trust. Too bad all his siblings vetoed his vote. What's the point of being the oldest if you don't get to be in charge?
Millie Danes told the grumpy Adonis she wasn't breaking into his car, but did he believe her? No! The guy has a stick up his butt bigger than the pine trees gracing the Rocky Mountains. Unfortunately, he's her new boss or she'd try and see if she could melt that icy exterior. But she has more on the line than a job, she needs funds to start her dream. Her very own aerial studio.
When a theft is discovered at work, Ace enlists Millie's help as a spy in exchange for the money to build her dream. Their tentative truce becomes complicated when desires fan the flames of temptation. In the battle of love, who will fall first?
An amateur online sleuth must enlist the help of a jaded PI to clear her name while taking down a shady tech start-up in this exhilarating romantic suspense novel.
Fiona Addai is ready to set her plan in motion. To honor the anniversary of her brother’s death, she’s going to steal back his brilliant invention from the ruthless corporation that stole and claimed it as their own. As a famed Reddit detective known as @Princess_PI, Fiona has used her online connections and sleuthing skills to time every step down to the minute. But with one disastrous misstep, instead of getting justice, Fiona finds herself accused of murder.
Maurice Bennett is no stranger to insomnia. These days, he’s not losing sleep over the cases he’s solving—but running from the one he couldn’t. Instead, he’s been settling for small-time scandals that don’t stir up the guilt he’s buried. But when he spots Fiona Addai at the center of a murder investigation, something clicks. And for the first time in a long while, Maurice feels that old spark of intrigue.
However, Fiona is not the helpless damsel she appears to be. Sure, she needs Maurice’s help to clear her name, but she’s got conditions of her own: she wants a crash course in real-world detective work. Maurice isn’t exactly thrilled. With every late-night stakeout and tension-filled interrogation, their partnership, rife with tension and unexpected chemistry, unravels a dangerous web of corporate crime and familial secrets. To bring the real killer to light, they'll need to trust each other and that might be the most dangerous gamble of all.
Gifted with the power of lightning and Sight, Piora is determined to win the Undertaking so that she doesn’t have to follow in her mother’s footsteps, and become the minister of the Lightning Court. However, time is running out, and she has yet to design an invention worthy of the Gods.
Abandoned at a young age, Izyk, graced with no magic, has only ever had his music and the dream of one day buying the court’s abandoned music hall—a dream that is threatened when the bank plans to demolish the historic building.
After an accidental meeting seems like fate, Piora and Izyk spark a deal: Izyk will help inspire new inventions for the Undertaking, while Piora promises to give half of the cash prize to Izyk so he can save the music hall. But when dark truths are revealed, Piora’s devotion to the Gods is tested, and she must choose between diverging paths of destiny.
Reliable, boring Gina Carlson is living a lie. Not only is her engagement to her best friend one of convenience that will allow them to buy Happy Lake Lodge and Campground from his grandmother, but there’s also a teensy-tiny chance she might already be married after a drunken night in Vegas. She doesn’t remember that night—but waking up in a tacky honeymoon suite with a twenty-five-year-old stripper and rings on her finger doesn’t mean they actually got married, right?
Benji Dwyer is sick of being a one-night-only fantasy, even if it comes with the territory of taking his clothes off on stage. The night with Gina was different. What they had was something deeper. That’s why he married her.
So when circumstances (and possibly mafia lackeys) send him on the run, Benji decides to lay low at Happy Lake and see if he and Gina still spark. But Gina doesn’t remember him. Even worse—she’s engaged to someone else. So Benji proposes a deal. He’ll tell her what happened, keep their marriage secret, and give her a divorce—if he can stay for the summer.
