From the author of Once Upon a Sunset and The Key to Happily Ever After comes a heartwarming and moving novel following three Army wives—estranged friends—who must overcome their differences when one of them is desperate for help. Regina Castro, Adelaide Wilson-Chang, and Sophie Walden used to be best friends. As Army wives at Fort East, they bonded during their book club and soon became inseparable. But when an unimaginable betrayal happened amongst the group, the friendship abruptly ended, and they haven’t spoken since. That’s why, eight years later, Regina and Sophie are shocked when they get a call for help from Adelaide. Adelaide’s husband is stationed abroad, and without any friends or family near her new home of Alexandria, Virginia, she has no one to help take care of her young daughter when she has to undergo emergency surgery. For the sake of an innocent child, Regina and Sophie reluctantly put their differences aside to help an old friend. As the three women reunite, they must overcome past hurts and see if there’s any future for their friendship. Featuring Tif Marcelo’s signature “enchanting prose” (Amy E. Reichert, author of The Coincidence of Coconut Cake) and the books that brought them together in the first place, In a Book Club Far Away honors the immense power of female friendship and how love can defy time, distance, and all old wounds.

It Started with a Secret

By: Tif Marcelo

When one unforgettable night… Leads to a whole new life… When Jared Sotheby arrives in Peak, Virginia, to search for his identity—and his Filipino roots—he doesn’t anticipate an instant connection with a stunning woman he meets on his first night in town. And he certainly doesn’t expect her to be managing the B & B owned by the biological family he’s searching for! One passionate night aside, Matilda Matthews needs a cook, and Jared, a chef, needs a way in. She’ll give him the job if he keeps his identity a secret—for now. Their subterfuge quickly grows complicated as Jared yearns for a connection—not only with his family, but also with the once-bitten Matilda. But first he’ll have to convince her to let a younger man into her heart… From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles. Find happiness.

West Coast Love

By: Tif Marcelo

An aspiring food journalist and a grumpy cameraman take to the California coast for the biggest foodie event of the year in this sweet third novel in Tif Marcelo’s charming and romantic Journey to the Heart series. Online food blogger Victoria Aquino has spent years doing social media for True North and Paraiso Retreats, and she’s ready to take her blog and writing to the next level. But after she was catfished and suffered a heartbreak, she’s clamoring for change. She auditions for and accepts a food host opportunity: covering the Labor Day holiday BBQ festivals along the California coast. For eight days, she’ll travel with a producer and a camera and sound person, in a vintage—and rickety—RV, and she’ll get her very first byline as a video journalist. The only catch? She can’t stand BBQ. And the cameraman also auditioned for the job. Joel Silva is a cameraman with his own past and big dreams of his own, and when he finds out that the job he auditioned for went to Victoria—a woman he’d gotten to know covering Paraiso Retreats, and someone he later slept with—he’s understandably furious and curious. Joel knows the BBQ circuit like the back of his hand, and he now has to help Victoria do her job amidst their growing attraction. When the producer picks up on their push/pull vibe and increases the ante to feature both in front of the camera with the best host taking the next cross-country feature, the two have to decide: is their blossoming romance something that should be left to fizzle along with BBQ season? Or is it the beginning of something even more delicious?

Once Upon a Sunset

By: Tif Marcelo

The author of The Key to Happily Ever After—“a true gem filled with heart, laughs, and a cast of delightful characters” (Nina Bocci, USA TODAY bestselling author)—returns with a heartwarming and charming novel about a woman who travels to the Philippines to reconnect with her long-lost family…and manages to find herself along the way. Diana Gallagher-Cary is at a tipping point. As a Washington, DC, OB/GYN at a prestigious hospital, she uses her career to distract herself from her grief over her granny’s death and her breakup from her long-term boyfriend after her free-spirited mother moves in with her. But when she makes a medical decision that disparages the hospital, she is forced to go on a short sabbatical. Never one to wallow, Diana decides to use the break to put order in her life, when her mother, Margo, stumbles upon a box of letters from her grandfather, Antonio Cruz, to her grandmother from the 1940s. The two women always believed that Antonio died in World War II, but the letters reveal otherwise. When they learn that he lived through the war, and that they have surviving relatives in the Philippines, Diana becomes determined to connect with the family that she never knew existed, though Margo refuses to face her history. But Diana pushes on, and heads on a once-in-a-lifetime trip that challenges her identity, family history, and her idea of romantic love that could change her life forever. Infused with Tif Marcelo’s signature “sexy, adorable, and heartfelt” (Kate Meader, USA TODAY bestselling author) voice, Once Upon a Sunset is a moving and lyrical celebration of love, family, and second chances.

Harlequin Special Edition May 2024 - Box Set 1 of 1

By: Melissa Senate,Elizabeth Bevarly,Jo McNally,Tif Marcelo

Harlequin® Special Edition brings you four new titles for one great price, available now! These are heartwarming, romantic stories about life, love and family. This Special Edition box set includes: The Rancher Hits the Road (a Dawson Family Ranch novel) By Melissa Senate Nothing like a little road trip with a jilted bride. Ranch foreman Shane Dawson certainly hadn’t expected he’d be escorting the bride away from her wedding, but Ashley McCray was determined to track down her good-for-nothing runaway groom. Since widower Shane’s twin daughters were scheduled to visit family anyway, Shane offered Ashley a ride to seek her revenge. All he asked was that Ashley help turn his tomboy twins into temporary angels who could change the minds of his late wife’s parents about seeking custody. Seven hours on the road should have been enjoyable and uneventful. Except this romance-weary couple had more in common than they’d ever imagined… Her Second-Chance Family (a Seasons in Sudbury novel) By Elizabeth Bevarly Fate ended their romance the first time around. Has the time come to make amends? Tragedy—and an abusive, manipulative mother—destroyed Alice Whitlock’s high school romance with Finn Huxley. Reuniting with the handsome contractor years later to restore and sell her late mother’s home resurrects their strong bond. But when Finn discovers he has a young daughter from a previous marriage who is now orphaned without him, Alice is forced to relive the pain she felt when she lost their baby all those years ago…and lost Finn in the process. Will the heartbreak of her past—and her shock over Finn’s previous marriage—destroy their second chance for the family she always dreamed of? A Cape Cod Summer (a Winsome Cove novel) By Jo McNally When it comes to love, there’s always something cooking. If Lexi Bellamy had to describe Winsome Cove, she would say the little Cape Cod town is tired and stuck in its ways. Like its men—or at least Sam Knight, the handsome New Englander who irritates the "Midwest nice" right out of the former five-star chef. Looking for a reset after her ex-fiancé all but ruined her career and reputation, Lexi agrees to spend the summer rebranding Sam’s family’s run-down restaurant. Yet Lexi faces resistance from Sam with every change. And the best way to keep from bickering…is kissing. Even so, Sam doesn’t trust her big-city ways. Can Lexi convince Sam that—like a good surf and turf—they’re made for each other? It Started with a Secret (a Spirit of the Shenandoah novel) By Tif Marcelo When one unforgettable night . . . Leads to a whole new life . . . When Jared Sotheby arrives in Peak, Virginia, to search for his identity—and his Filipino roots—he doesn’t anticipate an instant connection with a stunning woman he meets on his first night in town.

Know You by Heart

By: Tif Marcelo

From the USA Today bestselling author of In a Book Club Far Away comes a delightful installment in the Heart Resort series about finding love that's been right in front of you all along. As the oldest child in his family, Chris Puso has always taken his responsibilities seriously. He'll do whatever it takes to ensure Heart Resort's success. Four and a half years ago, that meant marrying Eden, a woman he admired but didn't love, to access a family trust that benefited them both. Eden Puso, a.k.a. romance author Everly Heart, believes in true love--in her novels, at least. But her marriage to Chris was more about funding her writing career and supporting her family than finding her happily ever after. And despite their mutual attraction toward one another, they stayed loyal to the contract...for the most part. With six months until the end of their contract and with their careers taking off, their marriage of convenience has become, well, a little inconvenient. A competing resort threatens to usurp Heart Resort, and Chris and Eden band together to preserve its reputation, including doing a retreat themselves. But as the retreat uncovers their history and their hidden love for one another, can their relationship survive so their partnership reaches its natural conclusion?
