I lost my heart a long time ago to one woman.
The love of my life.
The mother of my children.
I could weather any storm with her by my side.
But I lost sight of that somewhere along the way.
Holding her in my arms as she nearly died tore me to shreds.
I vowed a long time ago that I would never let anything happen to her, and I failed.
And now she was ready to leave.
Not because I didn’t protect her, but because I lost sight of who we were.
That was all about to change.
Because if there was one thing I knew for certain, it was that life just wasn’t worth living without her by my side.

I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Title: Rumor Has It

Series: The Last Best Place for Love Book 6

Genre: Small Town Romance
Tropes: Opposites Attract; Sworn off relationships; Grumpy/Sunshine; Damsel in Distress; Friends with Benefits
Release Date: July 13, 2026



★★★★★ Goodreads Review – “If you like small-town chaos, stubborn idiots falling in love, enough tension to power an electrical grid, and a healthy sprinkle of “well… that escalated quickly,” do yourself a favor and pick this one up.”

★★★★★ Goodreads Review – “Giulia Lagomarsino is wonderful at world-building. More importantly, she creates characters who are fully three-dimensional, and then she makes you fall in love with them.”

★★★★★ Goodreads Review – “Oh boy… another emotional roller coaster from Giulia! Rumor Has It has it all—thrills, humor, a swoony small-town romance, and plenty of chaos.”


The moment I laid eyes on her as she dangled from a string of Christmas lights from her roof, I knew I was in trouble.
Gorgeous eyes, adorable smile, and a tenacity that I found oddly charming.
And so freaking sexy.
No woman should have that much power over a man. Yet, whenever I found myself around her, I couldn’t contain the need to kiss her, devour her…make her mine.
But this town is known for interfering and causing problems in even the smallest situations, which is why this has to stay a secret.
Every kiss, every second spent in her presence has to be between the two of us.
And yet, unforeseen circumstances force me to put myself out there even when I desperately just want room to recover from my injuries and discover who I am again.
I’ve seen the way she looks at me.
I’ve felt the way she shudders in my arms.
Rumor Has It, this isn’t going to turn out like I planned.

Crawling back home with my tail between my legs was not the way I saw my life going.
I had it all.
A fantastic job. A fiancée who adored me, and a life any man would dream of.
That’s about the time it all fell apart.
But Montana has a way of healing all wounds, from the beautiful sunrises to the fresh mountain air.
Sure, my father still hated me for leaving. My mother still defended him at every turn.
And the gossip…
It was enough to drive me insane.
And then I sat next to her at The Beaver and Boot.
Gorgeous, curvy, full of life, and so easy to talk to.
She was perfect.
Until I realized she was the same girl I tormented as a kid.
Yep, I was that boy who didn’t know how to tell a girl he liked her, so he picked on her. And boy, did she let me know how much she hated me.
Every Tuesday and Thursday night.
But the one thing she couldn’t ignore was the undeniable chemistry when my body was pressed against hers.It was only supposed to be a friends with benefits situation, but she wormed her way into my head, and made it impossible to ignore my own Foolish Pride.







“Fine. I’ll admit that he has pleasant features.”

They both burst out laughing at that.

“Okay, more than pleasant. Have you seen him?”

Delaney shook her head, waiting on tenterhooks for something more descriptive than “pleasant”.

“He’s…taller.”

“Taller,” she repeated. “That’s all you’ve got for me?”

I stuttered over my thoughts in frustration. I didn’t want to think about him or hot he was. It would only ruin my plan to stay as far away from him as possible. But she wasn’t having it.

“Fine, he’s…muscular. Like, really, really muscular.”

“Declan muscular?”

“Not that much. But it’s one of those things that you can see through his shirt.”

Delaney sighed dreamily. “I love it when you can see their shirts stretched across their biceps.”

“Not to brag, but I have one of those,” Josie grinned.

Delaney smacked her arm. “Hey, some of us can only dream for now.” Then she turned back to me. “Go on.”

“Um…well, he still has warm, chocolate eyes. And his hair is shorter than it used to be.”

“Can you still run your fingers through it?”

As soon as I thought about it, shivers raced down my spine. That was not good. “Yes.”

“Oh my God,” Josie whispered. “Did you hear that hitch in her voice?”

“I definitely did. Tell us more.”

“There was no hitch.”

“There was definitely a hitch. Which means it’s really good. Now spill!”

My life was boring, so I decided to shake it up a bit.
With my life at the ranch changing by the minute, and not for the better, it seemed I would never find any excitement to fill my days.
They say to be careful what you wish for, and I learned that the hard way.
Walking in on a stranger trying on my teal coat, only to find out we slept together, was a shocker.
I didn’t remember a single second of how we met or what happened after.
Neither did he.
But apparently, everyone in town knew our business.
And the secret we were carrying around.
But before I got a chance to tell my new man any of this, things took a strange turn.
Bullets flying, men attacking every hour of the day, and neither of us had any idea why.
And that was just the bad stuff.
There was an undeniable chemistry between us, and keeping our hands to ourselves turned out to be harder than I thought.
But the infuriating man was insistent on keeping me safe.
And the whole time, all I really wanted to say was Shut Up and Kiss Me.

There’s nothing quite like going home.
Breathing in that fresh Montana air with the woman I love at my side is something only the luckiest of men ever get to experience.
And I’m one of them.
After surviving a deadly virus, false imprisonment, watching the woman I love nearly die, and a dishonorable discharge, things are finally looking up.
I got the one thing I wanted—to return to Murky Falls Ranch and take over with my brothers.
But things are never what they appear. The ranch is no longer a ranch. I pulled my brother out of a fire set by a man who hates our family, and there are several new additions to the family I was not expecting.
I thought the worst was over, but now I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll ever know how forever feels.
 

 

 
 
 

 

 

 
My stomach churned as we approached Parker’s family ranch, and it wasn’t just because I suspected I was pregnant.“Do you see that third peak to the right?” Parker pointed out the windshield. “That’s where the edge of my family’s ranch is. Murky Falls is over there. That’s where our ranch name came from.”

I nodded, trying to take it all in while also fighting the urge to leap out of the SUV and run back home. What was I thinking, agreeing to move here when I hadn’t even met anyone in his family first?

Mountains painted the midnight landscape as far as the eye could see. It should have been beautiful and welcoming, but an odd sense of impending doom told me this wouldn’t be the wonderful welcome he thought it would be.

“Blake,” Parker said, shooting me a curious glance. “Are you okay?”

“Of course,” I grinned, attempting to keep the fear and urge to puke from showing on my face.

“Then why do you look like I just told you we’re getting married?”

The smirk on his face eased the tension in my body just a little. “Well, we did come out here with the intent of starting over.”

“Just not getting married right away. Trust me, I haven’t called your family for a shotgun wedding.”

My head snapped so fast toward the passenger window at his words that I nearly pulled a muscle in my neck. If only he knew how close we were to using that phrase.

“Here we are,” he announced, stopping at the open gates of the ranch.

An emblem of Murky Falls Ranch greeted us on either side of the entrance, sealing my fate. There was no turning back now.

“It’s been years since I was home,” he murmured. “It’ll be good to see everyone.”

In order to do that, we’d have to actually drive forward, but I wasn’t exactly yelling at him to get moving. The delay was the only thing holding me together at the moment.

But just as I thought that, he pulled through the gates toward my doom.

Falling for a man who’s forcing me to marry him makes me sound weak. And in our world, the last thing a woman wants is to feel weak.
Brielle

Kane Morgan was never supposed to be anything more than one reckless night.
Turns out, he’s the enemy, and he knew exactly who I was when he was making me forget my name—while screaming his.
Now, Kane wants more than just revenge on my family. He wants me as his wife.
After a lifetime of heartache, all I want is to marry for love.
But Kane’s ripping that dream away, forcing me into a marriage of revenge.
He’s cold, ruthless, and calculating, and yet he’s everything I can’t seem to resist.
Because when we’re alone, he shows me a different side of him.
I hate that he comforts me when my past creeps into my nightmares. That he believes in my dreams. And most of all, that every stolen moment with him feels like it could put my broken pieces back together.
I shouldn’t be falling for my new husband. He gives me everything I’ve ever wanted … except the one thing I long for—his heart.

I always dated for fun. In my job, I didn’t have time for anything serious, but that all changed in the blink of an eye. I was looking for Mrs. Stark, and I just found her. Reserved, sexy, every fantasy wrapped up into one beautiful package. But there’s a side to her I never saw coming.

A fake relationship with a sexy cowboy in a small town is never a good idea…

-Alana-

After high school, my plan was to leave the small town of Mason Creek and never look back. I thought I’d work my way through college while my long-time, bull rider boyfriend chased his rodeo dreams and took me along for the ride.

My own dreams of becoming his publicist and living the high life together on the PBR circuit were crushed when it became clear that my eight seconds was up. The buckle bunnies were suddenly more appealing than the girl with her nose buried in the books.

I’ve sworn off men, especially cowboys and bull riders.

That is, until I walk in on one in my shower, naked, wet, and built like he could break my heart… and my bed.

-Holden-

The rodeo has been my whole world, and all it took was one false accusation to bring it crumbling down. I cleared my name, but the organization I’ve given my life and my body to for the past seven years doesn’t give a damn. They don’t want the drama and right now they don’t want me.

That’s how I ended up in Mason Creek, hiding from the cameras while the dust settles and I can reclaim my reputation and my rank in the PBR. The last thing I need is to get messed up with a local girl, especially one who hates cowboys–bull riders in particular.

Our relationship may be just for show, but I see the opportunity for what it is…The chance to keep my secret a little longer and prove to Alana that maybe her problem with bull riders is simple…

She hasn’t ridden the right one yet.
