Tripp Noble has one week to convince city-slicker Dionna that Royal is the perfect place for his cousin’s wedding—all the while keeping his hands off the gorgeous maid of honor.

Review: Rodeo Rebel by Joanne Rock

When bad boy Gavin unlocks sweet Lauryn’s rebellious side, he may be roped into more than he bargained for.

White Chicken Chili Recipe (Review)

On Thursday, February 18, 2021, Harlequin posted their first episode of Harlequin Books and Cooks, a new YouTube cooking show where the host, Princess Elmore, cooks a dish with a featured author.

Either way, I think it’s a fun new show and a great way to get to know some wonderful authors in a brand new way.
