Hollywood has descended on Oak Creek Valley to film a murder mystery. Carissa Carmichael, owner of the Aromatherapy Apothecary, has a front-row seat to the bad-boy leading man’s escapades as she works with the production to bring soothing essential elements to the stressed-out crew.

When the movie set becomes a true crime scene, Carissa’s best friend becomes the star suspect. Instead of enjoying the thrills of lights, camera, and action, she’s thrust into untangling the secrets of the glamorous actors who all seem to hide something. While working behind the scenes to sniff out clues and clear her best friend’s name, Carissa must apply pressure and find the killer before someone else is written out for good.

Why you will love this book…

❄️MMM holiday romance 

🎁Established couple adds a third 

❄️Cozy  

🎁Very low angst 

❄️Hookup Turns Into More 

🎁Friends to Lovers

Scotty

In my mid twenties an attractive couple moved down the hall from me and I was never subtle about my interest in them.

On an amazing vacation fifteen years ago, I was lucky enough to actually live out my fantasy of hooking up with them and it was even better than I’d imagined.

Shortly after, I met someone and we ended up moving across the country. Over the years, I lost touch with Joey and Patrick, but I’ve never forgotten that night with them.

Now I’m forty, single, and back living in New York City. The last thing I expected after running into them was an invite to a cabin for the holidays or that their vacation hookup rule would still be in place.

I’m definitely interested in reliving the best hookup of my life, even if I’m not sure how it will go after so many years apart, but there’s no way I’m turning down their offer.

Looks like I’m packing my bags and heading to a snowy cabin in Vermont for what’ll probably be the steamiest Christmas I could ever agree too.

My Merry Menage is a cozy, low angst MMM holiday romance where an established married couple adds a third to the relationship.

PACK RULE 13 - PROTECT YOUR TERRITORY

I might be a happy-go-lucky Christmas tree farmer, but this holiday season, I’m all bah humbug. 

Blame the beautiful, infuriating Fairchild Hotel heiress, who’s swept into town to open a–gasp–luxury resort. A spa. A freaking yoga retreat on the land next to mine.

No one in Cooper Valley hates the idea more than me. But no one needs her more than me because one whiff of her sweet scent, and I know she’s mine.

My enemy. My fated mate.

The more I fight with her, the more she gets under my skin.

There’s only one territory my wolf is interested in claiming this holiday. Her.

“What’s going on?” a melodic female voice asked.

Mine! my wolf snarled.

I whirled to see a slender woman in her late twenties or early thirties coming toward me, filling out a pair of hot pink yoga pants and a cropped white sweatshirt like her body was a weapon pointed directly at me, shooting to kill. Her caramel-colored hair was pulled up in a ponytail high on the back of her head. Her wide eyes were light green, the color of cash, and they were focused right on me.

“Ms. Fairchild!” The foreman arrived at the top of the stairs, too. He was out of breath.

Ms. Fairchild. I’d heard him say that downstairs, but it hadn’t registered. Ms. Fairchild. Not Mister.

Alex Fairchild was a woman.

Not just any woman, but a gorgeous female with long, shapely legs and a scent that had already wrecked me. 

My cock was semi-hard. My pulse raced. My wolf howled, pushing me to grab the woman–the human–and toss her over my shoulder, carry her off into the woods, and fuck her and mark her and make her mine.

Fuck.

This was bad. So bad.

The absolute worst.

“May I help you?” she asked, smiling.

Fucking smiling!

This woman was the mastermind behind the Sage and Stone Retreat that would bring thousands of strangers to our small town, wreck my pack’s hunting grounds, and destroy me and my brothers’ peace with constant traffic and people. 

The same woman whose scent was presently pushing my wolf into a frenzy.

That meant… Alex Fairchild, the scourge of Cooper Valley…was my mate!

Bah fucking humbug.

Cover Reveal: The Game Changer

@bellamatthews.author has revealed the gorgeous cover for The Game Changer! Releasing January 7, 2027 Illustrator: @jasmynerica.art Cover Designer: @booksnmoods Falling for Kroydon University’s golden-boy quarterback wasn’t in my four-year plan. Neither was fake dating him, yet here we are. Asher Ryan has it all. A famous last name, a future first-round draft pick, and the kind of cocky smile that makes otherwise intelligent women forget who they are. He’s rich, ridiculously gorgeous, and living the dream. I’m just not convinced it’s his dream. Not that I have time to figure that out. What I have instead is two jobs, one scholarship hanging by a thread, and zero patience for arrogant athletes who’ve never had to worry about their futures. He plays under the lights, and I dance on the sidelines. We are not the same, and I’m perfectly happy to keep it that way . . . Until one reckless night changes the game. Now I’m fake dating Kroydon U’s most eligible bachelor. And this infuriating man is determined to prove everything I think I know about him is wrong—which would be a whole lot easier to ignore if he weren’t so good at making me forget. But at a university where football is religion and secrets are currency, one wrong move could cost us everything. He has a legacy to live up to. I’ve got a future to fight for. Neither of us can afford what happens when fake starts feeling like forever. Pre-order today! Visit Bella Matthews's website for buy links, or search The Game Changer by Bella Matthews on Amazon.
