Corinium Television, a once-prestigious production company tucked away in the English countryside, is in crisis. To salvage its public image, Tony Baddingham calls in a specialist: Alexandra Thorne: a glacial redhead, divorced from a powerful politician, a single mother, and a ruthless strategist.
Reluctantly, she returns to the Cotswolds, surrounded by rumors, former friends, old enemies, and a workplace unsure whether to fear her or admire her. Amid budget cuts, sabotaged costumes, and crumbling scripts, Alexandra must lead the charge to modernize Corinium... and stop Venturer from claiming victory.
What she didn't expect? Declan O'Hara: a rugged, serious, mildly infuriating Irish journalist with an inconvenient history of accidental charm.
Between dangerous flirtations, whispered exchanges in crowded rooms, behind-the-scenes cold wars, and nights where there's only one bed... what happens when she begins to suspect she may have chosen the wrong side of the story?
Too late to run. And Alexandra Thorne has never been one to back down from a fight.

Honeymoon Rivals
Tessa Sinclair always imagined her wedding day would be perfect-with a few manageable glitches. But nothing could have prepared her for walking in on her fiancé and her best friend minutes before saying "I do." Her world shatters in an instant. Her soulmate? A liar. Her lifelong best friend? A backstabber. And as if the universe wasn't cruel enough, Nathaniel Ford-her arch-nemesis since middle school-is standing right beside her, watching his own dreams crumble. Because Nathaniel was supposed to marry Lauren-the backstabbing best friend. Two weddings, two betrayals, and one giant catastrophe later, Tessa and Nathaniel are left humiliated at the altar while their exes ride off into the sunset together. But just when she thinks things can't get worse, she discovers the final punchline: The ultra-luxurious, all-expenses-paid honeymoon in Bali? Non-refundable. And guess who plans to use it?

Between fighting over the master suite, petty sabotage, and a series of unfortunate (yet strangely romantic) mishaps, Tessa and Nathaniel soon find themselves in a different kind of trouble. Because somewhere between stolen cabanas and staged fake honeymoon photos meant to torment their exes... the hate starts feeling a little too much like something else. Enemies. Betrayed lovers. Unwilling honeymooners. Will their romantic getaway end in disaster-or in something neither of them ever saw coming?
