Book Description
Readers of Christina Lauren and Emily Henry will adore this standalone follow-up to The First Date Prophecy from 90’s Nickelodeon star of The Adventures of Pete and Pete and his real-life wife, as Back to the Future meets 10 Things I Hate About You when the past, the present, and two hearts (with unfinished business) collide in the most epic, hilarious, and downright poignant way . . . Up-and-coming screenwriter Beatrix Noel’s dream project is finally a reality—her 90s-era script is in production. Less dreamy is the A-list actor in the starring role—none other than Rocco Riziero, who jilted Beatrix on New Year’s Eve back in 1999. Without his celebrity status, the project would likely still be withering on her hard drive, but that doesn’t mean Beatrix won’t shame him at every opportunity on-set—especially when it becomes painfully obvious he doesn’t even remember her . . . Boxed-in as a Hollywood pretty-boy, Rocco is thrilled to tackle a genuinely dramatic role. But he’s perplexed about why the screenwriter treats him like a maggot. And awkward becomes irksome when their bickering results in a car crash right outside the famed Roxy Theatre on Sunset Boulevard—site of the New Year’s Eve party where everything went wrong . . . Shockingly, Beatrix, Rocco, and the car, are uninjured. The twist? They’re clearly, truly, somehow, still in December, still on Sunset—but in 1999. Their mission? They’ll have to work together to correct their old mistakes—which just might bring them closer than either expects . . . But can they change the past without altering their future selves—and hold on to what they’ve found together? Only time-travel will tell . . .

Book Description
In the wild and unforgiving Highlands, where honor is everything and love is rarely given freely, Olivia finds herself thrust into a world she never wanted—a world where her heart is the only thing more unyielding than the rugged landscape. Olivia, an English lady of grace and refinement, never imagined her fate would be tied to Alastair, a brooding and fiercely protective Highland laird haunted by a shadowed past. Forced into marriage by politics and circumstance, Olivia is torn from the comforts of her homeland and thrust into a world of clan rivalries, untamed beauty, and simmering tension. Yet, as she navigates her new life, Olivia begins to see beyond Alastair’s hardened exterior. Beneath the laird’s stern demeanor lies a man struggling with deep scars and a son, Ian, who is burdened by wounds of his own. As Olivia’s heart battles the fortress Alastair has built around his, she discovers that love can bloom in the most unlikely places—even in a marriage born of duty. But as the specter of Alastair’s past looms large and threatens their fragile bond, Olivia must decide if she has the strength to turn a house of stone into a home filled with love and laughter. Can she bring light to the darkest corners of their lives and transform a reluctant union into a love that defies all odds? "Reluctant Highland Bride" is a breathtaking tale of resilience, passion, and the healing power of love set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Scottish Highlands. If you're a fan of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series or Julie Garwood’s Highland romances, you will fall in love with Reluctant Highland Bride.
