THE SWEETEST SEPTEMBER/THIS JUST IN... Liz Talley

Liz Talley delivers two connected romance novellas set in the small-town South, where second chances arrive when you least expect them. In *The Sweetest September*, a single mom returns home to Louisiana to rebuild her life and runs headfirst into the one man she never forgot. *This Just In...* follows a TV news anchor whose carefully controlled world unravels when an old flame walks back into the studio—and her heart. Talley writes contemporary romance with genuine warmth, capturing the messiness of starting over and the particular brand of tension that comes from unfinished business. Her characters feel lived-in: flawed, funny, trying their best. The Louisiana setting adds humid atmosphere and the kind of community where everyone knows your business. Perfect for fans of Susan Mallery or anyone who likes their romance grounded in real emotion, small-town charm, and protagonists who've earned their happy endings the hard way.
