THE WIFE HE CHOSE TO HIDE BY NORA HALSTON
"The Wife He Chose To Hide is a soulful journey of lost love and second chances that touches every inch of the heart. Julian and Eleanor push past the boundaries of emotion to deliver food for thought." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)
He hid his scarred wife to protect his flawless billionaire image. Now, he’s destroying his own empire just to get her to look at him.
For six years, Eleanor was Julian’s dirty little secret. He was the ruthless CEO of a wedding couture empire. To boost his brand, he starred in romantic bridal campaigns alongside a stunning supermodel, letting the media hype them as the perfect couple. Meanwhile, Eleanor hid her burn scars and played his obedient, invisible wife at home.
Until their sixth anniversary.
Exhausted by his coldness, Eleanor hands him divorce papers. Annoyed by her "tantrum," Julian tosses her a custom necklace to pacify her.
The exact same necklace his supermodel "bride" was wearing on the news yesterday.
No tears. No screaming. Eleanor simply slides off her silver wedding band, leaves it on his desk, and walks away without a single penny.
When they meet again, the meek wife is gone. Eleanor is now a highly sought-after artist, radiant and untouchable. And after finding the heartbreaking sketchbook she left behind, Julian's arrogant reality finally shatters.
The ruthless billionaire who treated her love like a cheap transaction must now do the impossible: spend the rest of his life on his knees to earn it back.
Tropes:
❤️ Hidden Marriage / Cold Billionaire CEO
❤️ Epic Groveling & Redemption
❤️ Runaway Wife / Second Chance Romance
❤️ Other Woman Drama
No Cheating / Complete Standalone
Author’s Note: This is a high-angst, high-reward romance (strict NO cheating). Julian makes infuriating mistakes, but I promise his redemption is brutal. The HEA is guaranteed, and he will spend the second half of the book earning it on his knees.

THE CONTRACT WIFE HE BROKE BY NORA HALSTON
"A match made in heartache finds it's salvation. Halston tempts the heart with sensual precision. Clara and Julian wage a fierce battle of deep emotion and endless regret. A beautiful mess becomes an unforgettable romance." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)
Julian Ashford thought his debt-bound wife would stay quiet forever.
He never bothered to learn that the “helpless” wife he dismissed had become a millionaire author.
For years, Clara played the obedient, invisible wife. She swallowed Julian's icy neglect and endured the constant humiliation of sharing a home with his late best friend's manipulative sister.
Clara stayed, foolishly hoping her devotion would eventually win his heart.
Until the day Clara and the other woman both fell into the pool, and her billionaire husband swam right past her.
Worse, Clara had just found out she was carrying his child. Clara finally heard the brutal truth:
"You're just a hired wife. Sophia is family."
Almost drowning wakes a person up. Clara doesn't cry or beg.
She simply goes home, signs the divorce papers, and leaves them on his immaculate desk.
Next to them? A massive check that pays off her family’s debt to the very last penny.
Then, carrying the child he doesn't deserve, Clara vanishes without a trace.
Losing the woman he took for granted completely destroys Julian. When the ruthless CEO finally tracks her down, he doesn't find the broken girl he threw away. He finds a wealthy, untouchable woman fiercely protecting his baby.
Now, the man who treated their marriage like a disposable contract must do the impossible: bankrupt his pride, fall to his knees, and beg for a second chance from the only woman who can ruin him.
Tropes:
❤️ Contract Marriage / Debt Repayment
❤️ Hidden Identity (Secret Badass Author)
❤️ Epic Groveling & Redemption
❤️ Secret Pregnancy / Runaway Wife
❤️ Other Woman Drama (Best Friend's Sister)
No Cheating / Complete Standalone
Author’s Note: This is a high-angst, high-reward groveling romance. Julian is a deeply flawed hero who makes infuriating mistakes, but I promise his redemption arc is brutal, and the ultimate Happily Ever After (HEA) will be worth every tear. He will absolutely earn it on his knees.

THE WIFE HE KEPT WAITING BY ROMY VENN
"Emotion runs wild. Venn puts the heart on full display with a vulnerability that stirs the senses and pierces the soul." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)
He kept asking her to wait.
Wait until residency was over. Until his practice was established. Until work calmed down. Elise believed they were building toward the same future, so she kept making room for Nathan’s.
Three years ago, she finally asked for one thing that would not move: on her thirty-fifth birthday, they would stop postponing the family they both said they wanted.
Nathan promised.
Then her birthday comes, and he asks for six more months.
So Elise leaves.
For the first time in thirteen years, she stops arranging her life around his. She takes the biggest project of her career, moves into an apartment of her own, and discovers something terrifying:
Her life works without him.
Nathan thinks the problem is timing. It isn’t.
It’s every dinner Elise moved, every opportunity she passed up, every empty space she protected while he filled his life with one more patient, one more office, one more ambition. He never stopped loving his wife. He simply trusted her love enough to keep asking her to absorb the cost.
Now apologies aren’t enough. If Nathan wants his wife back, he has to change when Elise isn’t watching—and Elise has to decide whether the man she still loves can become someone she would willingly choose again.
A marriage-in-crisis romance featuring no cheating, a competent heroine rebuilding her own life, a doctor husband who has to earn his way back, sustained grovel and repair, and an earned HEA.

FALLING FOR MR. OCTOBER (APPLE RIDGE #1) BY ANGELA CASELLA
"A flavorful journey that begins and ends with love. . Whether laughing out loud or shedding a few tears, Casella grabs your attention and never lets go. Soulful delivers a sweetness that the heart won't soon forget." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)
**Spicy version**
He’s the internet’s favorite Shirtless Chef.
I’m the only woman in town who's not impressed.
Bianca
My grandmother invited her former best friend to move in for the month of October and help run our annual pumpkin patch.
To our surprise, she brings her grandson Giovanni—a thirty-something Italian playboy who calls me Doctor Death because I’m a former hospice nurse. (At least he gave me a promotion?)
The whole situation is suspicious. What grown man willingly goes on a month-long walkabout with his grandmother? He and my brother used to be close, but that was years ago.
Then we find out Giovanni isn't just visiting Apple Ridge.
He’s hiding.
Apparently, he’s the anonymous YouTube sensation known as The Shirtless Chef. He was recently unmasked in his hometown and left to escape the chaos.
Unfortunately for him, a reporter tracks him down after a national magazine names him their official Mr. October.
Now tourists are swarming. Women are throwing themselves at him. My grandmother wants him to stay forever.
And Giovanni—who once thrived on attention—suddenly hates it.
He begs me to pretend we’re dating, and against my better judgment I agree. On one he has to help with my seniors’ group.
I tell myself, and my concerned siblings, that it's a harmless agreement.
Except fake dating a secret internet heartthrob in the middle of pumpkin season turns out to be…complicated.
Because I’m starting to see the man behind the brand, and I’m not sure I want to give him back.
Giovanni
Apple Ridge was supposed to be safe and anonymous.
Instead, I’ve been exposed, crowned Mr. October, and chased by every woman within fifty miles.
Once, that would have been my dream. Now it’s my nightmare.
The only person not impressed with my fame?
Bianca.
Which is exactly why I need her.
Except the longer I pretend she’s mine…the less I’m pretending.
**Falling for Mr. October is a fall-themed, fake-dating romcom with meddling relatives, small-town charm, and romcom antics.**
Giovanni Cafiero first appeared in The Holiday Hate-Off!
There are TWO different versions:
1) A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes
2) A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.
Please choose the version that's best for you!
