LATE HARVEST by Cathryn Lyons is AVAILABLE NOW
Blurb:
The role of a lifetime doesn’t always take place on the silver screen
Arabella “Remy” Remington
I’m a surgeon. I like things tidy—rules, routines, predictability, perfection. And I guard my heart as fiercely as the women and children I’m dedicated to helping.
Until he enters the picture.
Sebastian Wheatley is a walking red flag. A charming, sexy as sin, Hollywood-mega-star red flag. He’s smooth and unpredictable—something decidedly unsafe in the world I’ve intentionally created for myself. But one look at him has my blood heating, and I’m not sure if it’s from annoyance…or desire.
The charming devil slides into my life, looking to make a deal. A temporary marriage of convenience to help him land the role of a lifetime. In exchange, I get the funds necessary to secure the stability of a cause deeply important to me.
My common sense says “run.” But despite the risk to my carefully tidy life and the fortress it provides for my painful secrets and battered heart, something about him has me accepting the proposal. And hoping I haven’t just derailed everything I’ve ever worked for.
Late Harvest brings heart, heat, and humor in book one of the Red Wine Supper Club, a later-in-life romance series.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
It took me a while to get into Late Harvest, but it turned out to be quite a sweet fake relationship/marriage of convenience romance. And I really liked the “finding love later in life” angle for Remy and Bash’s reverse grumpy-sunshine romance.
Hollywood actor Sebastian/Bash is such a loud, gregarious personality, and Remy was so quiet and reserved. The contrast in their personalities really came through in this story, and I loved seeing how her walls slowly came down around his golden retriever energy. Bash was smitten with Remy from the moment he first laid eyes on her in his brother-in-law’s office, and it was rather amusing to see how tongue-tied the Hollywood heartthrob got around the prickly surgeon. When Bash needs a wife to secure a role, he proposes a fake marriage to Remy. Although she’s hesitant at first, her beloved shelter will reap the benefit of the money he’s offering her, so she relents.
The fake relationship turns out to be everything Remy didn’t know she needed. Not only did she gain a cheerleader in Bash, but she inherited a found family that made her life so much richer. As pieces of Remy’s backstory were told, my heart broke for her and the trauma she’d lived through, so I was so happy to see her find a way to heal through her newfound relationship and friendships.
This charming book features a wonderful main couple, a great group of supporting characters, and a heartwarming happy ending. I recevied an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
